    hello,

    Where I am staying I get pretty good coverage, despite being on the border (outskirts?) of the city. I ordered 512, and I can get anything in between 120-500 kbps. My provider is Wi-tribe.

    Re: Bet you can't get this fast :D

    Out of interest, why do ISP's use bits instead of bytes? Is it to make the numbers look bigger?

    Speeds were measured in bits at the time for telecommunications etc and computers weren't at the heart of it at the time, it seems to have just stuck on, or that the ISP's like quoting bigger values to make them seem faster
