Hooolllllyyyy fucking shit

That's MegaBIT per second, not MegaBYTE

Correct. 8 bits in a byte, so a download speed of 1.33mb/sec would download files at a speed of ~.166MB/sec = 166kb/sec. Don't feel dumb though...literally every customer we've ever had call into our Customer Service complaining about not getting what they pay for had to have this broken down to them to some extent. But it's a general rule of thumb when it comes to telecommunications to measure speed in bits, and size in bytes.

^Something I actually learned from work that I never thought I'd use. Go Comcast.


Btw, Syphon...call your ISP and find out what you're paying for. Guarantee you it's way more than that.

Thank you for clarifying that pain. I couldn't comprehend why my internet is Stonehenge status I guess it's not that bad.
