download a larger file around 1 mb when testing it. 100kb not optimal for mobile broadband

 

[P3wP3w]

I downloaded a 124MB file last night with a download speed around 700KB/s. Took about 2 minutes to download. That seems pretty close to what the speedtest results are giving me.

5.6mbs?

 

[P3wP3w]

5.6mbs?

That's right, been pretty consistent between 5.2 Mbps and 6.0 Mbps.
