OK, so there i am quite happily downloading a few bits and bobs from here and there, when i discover i need a 115mb file (game patch or something). So i go to the appropriate website, select my chosen mirror site - which happens to be in kent (im in essex) and start the download. Previously - as i was on a 4mb connexion i was expecting it to take in the region of five minutes to complete. Which is pretty quick.
However, as i sit there watching it i notice the speed rising rapidly, starting at 220k/sec, then 300, then 400 then getting to 900k/sec and finally peaking at 1.1mb/sec. 95 seconds later the file has completely downloaded.
Thats a rediculous speed - i dont get that with our fixed link lines at work or any of the clients we work for.
Blueyonder rule - 10mb connexion for no extra cost - i love you!![]()
