mweb adsl qeustions

I think my expectations are realistic though, on account of being in the loop about this stuff generally.

People who are in the dark in the first place, can easily be misled, yes.
 
Hundred and something kb/s is pretty slow! But I probably have no other choice, because my dad will DEFINITELY not pay more than R600 a month. Downloading a game via steam at that speed would take days, as would a movie. Well it's either slow and uncapped or fast with only 2gb a month. Eh I'll take the uncapped.

Yep, but that's what the speed is, and as mentioned, you are not at all guaranteed full speed, depending on your protocol.
 
Okay, what? Full speed is 100 and something? Then why even advertise a line as 1 mb/s if you're never going to get more than a hundred and something? Why don't you get 1 meg speeds? This is what I don't understand.
 
my steam always runs max even during the day , all steam content is local .

adsl is a "best effort service" , they cant guarantee your speed etc, and your on shaped account , certain protocols get shaped.
 
So tell me if I understand right: It's a 1 megaBIT per second line, which gives me a 100 and something kiloBYTES? They really should advertise more clearly or I should get less retarded
