ok, now THIS was odd. when I got my DSL connection I initially got a 2MB one, simply because there was no faster one available in my street. some months ago I got a call from my provider informing me the contract is about to run out and asking me if I want to renew it....I did, and the nice lady on the phone also told me that I can get a 3 MB one now for even 10 €/month less. of course I got it...
so I have been surfing until today, happy about my connection being faster than before....until today. I had to download some larger files and noticed the speed did not went over aprox. 250kb/s, which is 2MB bandwidth. of course I was REALLY pissed off about that...
and now the fun part: I was already about to make a phone call to complain about that, but then decided to re-connect the modem, haven't done that since months. and voila: now I have a 6MB connection...
hooray for my ISP ^^

@thuggy: awesome to know that I, who is living in one of the leading technology countries on the globe, has to fiddle with a slower connection than you being in a so-called "newly industrialized country"...
@z3r0aCc3Ss: 2MB isn't actually that bad, imo it's the bandwidth were the internet starts to run decent...just huge downloads of course take a while, but most stuff can still be done within a day (except you get a full siterip of a porn site maybe ). before I got my 2 MB one I was on dialup with 64k for years, I even built 90% of suck-o v1 with it....2 MB was heaven compared to that.
@cats: whoah....1 GB?
