Since I upgraded from my old 56k connection four or five years ago, I've been getting about 80KBs download speed. Within the past hour or so I started getting, at a consistent rate, about 200KBs download speed. An increase of about 250%. Just all of sudden.

If it were that simple I would have shut that off ages ago! 80KBs is far better than 56k, but online play is still a bit laggy at times.

Also, I'm actually hitting about 300KBs+ download speed from Steam.

As far as I know, 80KBs was the speed that everyone got with this internet service. They may have upgraded on their end or something. Either way, it's nice to have a big boost like this to my internet speed.

Yeah, I found out recently that my connection is rated at 15Mb

I originally bought into it (two years ago) rated at 8Mb

For whatever reason, my internet on my 360 is about ten times faster than on my netbook. I can d/l 1 gb dlc in just a couple of minutes.

GilloD · « **Reply #21 on:** April 08, 2010, 09:12:40 PM »

I know it's usually faster. I get 1.5-2mbps on torrents regularly.

Damn, those numbers are impressive. How much are you NY faggs paying for it? I've been trying to get FIOS forever but it still isn't available in my area.

My ping times aren't as good but I get pretty good download speeds with Time Warner cable. Torrenting is usually at a minimum of 1mb/sec.

On a good day there's not too much lag and L4D isn't as bad as other games since there's usually only 4 people or, at most, 8.
