Just had a torrent running at 1Mbps.
Be are turning out to be a pretty good ISP.
Bit shit at getting you set up, but once you're there... it's like lightening.
Oh, incidentally, the new Firefox V3 beta is pretty nippy too.

Fastest i get is a bout 250-300 Kbps. I think? :confused:
On individual downloads that's pretty good on anything up to a 5 Mbps line.Quote:

It's not all milk and honey, but it sounds like it's better than it was.

There are 8 bits to the byte, so 16Mb would be 2MB wouldn't it?Quote:
