That is interesting to me too. AFAIK, the correct terms should be speed (latency), capacity (bits per second) and monthly traffic (GB/month).
Dr.Mabuse:
Hm, it would be better if the upload were like the download. I hope that we get FTTH in the next 2 years here.
But only 20 Euros for that speed isn't bad.
dogsinafen:
Now if they would up the upload to 70 I'd be happy.
But for Canada speeds like that is wayyyy beyond the average.
Sosseres:
I wish to upgrade to fiber from cable. ^^ (They upped speeds from 25/10 to 100/10 recently on this cable connection. Now if I could only get those speeds outside of the nordic countries. Sucks when I upload at 100 since nobody near me is on the torrents.)
Oh and nice necro, I hadn't posted in this thread.
Pentium100:
My ISP announced that it will be increasing speeds to 300mbps up/down to everywhere (currently I have 200 to Lithuania and 80 to other countries) and I will actually pay less than I do now (22.8EUR/month instead of 28.6EUR/month).
My router does not have enough power to do this, so I will have to buy a used server for routing. Then I will see if my torrent server has enough power to upload at 30MB/s.
The change is supposed to happen on the 16th of this month. I hopw I will be ready with my new-to-me hardware
