Anyone else finding that rogers' 'high-speed' cable internet slowed considerably this morning? My downloads are going at about ... 50kb/s

A quick speed test this morning for my rogers express service reveals:

That is almost 1 MB/sec download speed.

regular downloads or torrents? If torrents, don't use that as a basis for anything as you may find your area is being throttled.

It doesnt, but his complaint about his speed made me want to check out rogers' packages.. especially that DSLreports thread. and i found it a little humorous. I didnt mean to thread jack.

I'm not. My whole internet dies for a couple minutes and comes back full speed.

Yes you're right.Akraz wrote: ↑Actually, 9.92 megabits = 1 269.76 kilobytes.. so its over 1MB/sec
remember, 8 bit = 1 byte
so 8 megabits DOWN = 1 megabyte/sec DOWN
Assuming you have Rogers' Express or Extreme you are paying for 10 megaBITS DOWN. Which translates to 1.28 megaBYTES/second
ISPs always advertise speeds in bits, not bytes. Your browsers and websites always calculate speeds in bytes.
