Once a service gets busy, at 20:1 for a 2M service, guess what ! You get 100k.
You hope that the other people contending with you don't use as much of their share as you, and then you see higher and higher speeds. Lots of people downloading movies lately, and we all see slower speeds as a consequence.
You do have a choice. If you really want 2M, you have to get a leased circuit, but I for one couldn't afford that.
Anyone getting 100k from a 2M service at 20:1 contention, mightn't like the service, but you do get what you pay for. |
For 100k at 20:1 with 2 meg.Everybody would have to be accessing at the same time which would be very unusual,but probly does happen.How would it affect upload at 2meg ,would everybody have to be uploading at same time ?and why is 2meg upload worse than 2 meg down?
