Cable modem doohicky. Goes as fast as whatever they do go at. I imagine. I'm not very technical. I'm only a girl.
 
oh! i forgot i had a comp as well ;)

OS- Win 98
Connection- cable broadband
bandwidth- 48k
Download speed- slow-3 to 8 k (though last month our connection guy felt a little generous and gave me speeds of 100+ on the above bandwidth!!!)
 
OS Windows 2000
Connection Cable Broadband
Bandwidth Not a clue
Maximum download speed 10,0 Mbps (much quicker now that I have cleared the system for a lot of spyware).

10 Megabytes per second?! What?!

And by the way, spyware doesn't affect you downloading speed, does it?

Cheers, Martin :D

Yup, that's what it says on the thingy. It's hooked up with the cable tv - kinda thing. "the fastest internet in town", that's what they. And it is fast! :cool: Fixed price pr. month, regardless of how much you use it. :cool:

Don't know about the spyware, except when I cleared my 'puter of 189 "objects", it got decidedly faster.... Now I clear it once a week. :)

I paid an initial £50 for the connection and lease of modem, an then I pay equivalent to £17-18 a month for the use. No limit on how much I use it.

It's ok. :D

(I had no idea it was such a big thing! But, then again: What do I know?) :confused:

(prices are roughly estimated - exchange rates and all that.)

10 MB/s is massive! Seriously. Isn't it 10 KB/s?

Look, I have tripple checked.

It says 10,0 Mbps.

I don't know the first thing about it, but that's what it says on the pop-up screen, when I "click" on the two monitors. Okay?

10Mbs is your local network connection speed (ie the speed your pc connects to your modem), not the speed your modem connects to the net.
