They screwed up, you're paying for it. Welcome to the real world.

I think you hit the nail on the head. I have been saying for quite a while that they have to be adding more and more without upgrading their servers. How else can it be that they always slow to a crawl in the late afternoon/early evening?

And this is my work's ISP, will try home later...

...and here it is folks -

That's why I download most things at work and stick them on a usb stick to take home!

It reckons that at 4.74 Mb/s it'll take just 23 mins to download a 800 MB movie - and yet when I download a game smaller from Steam it takes several hours?

I think there's a 100GB monthly cap on this connection, "inherited" it from my landlord so I'm not entirely sure

Probably the best I'll ever get.

That's very good!

I'd probably be already dead before my ISP offers such speed at reasonable price.

20Mbps would cost US$225 here

I refer the right honourable gentleman to my previous post, now edited with my shameful home speeds. You ain't got it so bad

Capping and charging money per GB transferred is so 80's and 90's. Welcome to Finland. I currently have unlimited 24 Mbps for about $7.5 a month.

pay about 60 fixed price, including TV, Phone and the Internet. Plus extra line for fax. But i received a new modem from provider with the explanation my current modem could not keep up with the speed build up on the net. Still have to do so...

Not bad for peak hours:

Not that it matters right now; forum's like sludge.
