Secret bandwith increase

Posted on April 3, 2005 | 2 Comments

Oh joy! My internet provider has secretly doubled my bandwidth, leaving me with a healthy 4Mbit/s down and 1Mbit/s up. I couldn’t help noticing the 440 Kbyte/s as I was apt-get installing j2re on my little CentOS server.

    That is just wrong man! At work we sometimes get about 100Kbit/s, while the service is not that reliable. Furthermore, I’m still struggling to get affordable internet at home.

    Anyway, enjoy your extra bits. I’m not jealous!

    It’s not a *secret* increase anymore.
    Take a look at the IPact site (http://tud.ipact.nl/?contentid=nieuwsdetail&id=97): the 1 and 2 Mbit connections have been doubled in speed.

    I was quite happy to see 2048 kbps down on my own connection the other day!
