I am busy downloading the new Beta SP2 XP from microsoft.com and i get an average of 56KB/s ! Thats the average international for me, i don't get anything less! highest recorder from microsoft was 59KB/s !
and the funny thing is that i am getting this speed while capped! i have been *capped* for the past 2 days. my transfer was about 4.5 gigs this month and i am still going strong! so i don't worry about the cap at all.
