you must've chosen the escargo plan from etisalat. you probably thought its exotic name meant speed but now you know :wacky:
if someone here has been having issues you would've found a topic about it

Hmm. I was trying to download ArmA II demo, and i tried like a dozen sites and could not get multi-thread downloading and full speed. I would get below 460kbps, jumping up and down to 100-300.

Nope. This is so normal and consistent, downtime and inconsistent speeds are part of the package. Unless there is a line cut or a complete failure, i don't think we would have thread about it.

Sniff sniff, My download speeds have been halfed. From 3.0Mb/s on Fiber to 1.5Mb/s on Cable. Shitty Comcrap! Shitty apartment complex politics.

I pity you ppl. I got the 20MBPS line from Shaw and I get 1.4mb /sec average speed. I downloaded burnout paradise on the PS3 recently and the installation time took longer than the download time. lol :P

Thats slow for a 20mbps. I used to have a 30mbps Fiber, and I got 3.3Mb/s average. I got a 16mbps Cable connection now and I get 1.5Mb/s. Check your settings or call ur ISP.
