I Hate Iburst

holy mother... 100KB/s torrent speeds... whats the fuss?

unlucky..I connect to my tower at 10mb/s without antenna and sometimes connect at 100mb/s...torrents sometimes fast(+100kb/s) but mostly slow

i know which connection is to the UTD,in fact I think I'm gonna drop the subject since I can't really explain it to you and you don't seem to understand.And i do know my fare share bout iburst considering I've only had it for about a week now.And maybe if you looked at the pic a little closer,you'd see that they are 2 seperate connections,1 to the UTD and 1 to the network which makes only 1 connection the speed that the UTD connects to my pc!

You connect from your PC to your iBurst UTD at 1megbit/second or 10megbits/second or 100megbits/second

Your UTD connects to the iBurst Network at 1megbit/second.

Since bits cannot be lost, your connection is bottlenecked by the iBurst network at 1megbit/second.

The different speeds shown on the internet connection at the bottom right in windows are meant to relate to your connection internet.

However due to a bug in windows these speeds are inaccurate and they generally consist of the speed of your connection to the UTD in any PPPoe connection (iburst/adsl ...)

I think it's because torrents never really go fast on Iburst,I know mine bearly go above 6kb/s

bleh, installers with a bit of rtfm most people could install, configure a router or IBurst. Lack of knowledge = overcharging, i would have kicked them out and paid nothing. sigh service in SA is still less than zero................
