my cable likes to go up or down

most of the time it's fast... downloads from net about 50 napster 20-120. and then there are days it won't do better than 5.....i hate those days

It depends on the site from which I download, but it's been around 100-200KiB/s lately. I'm certainly not complaining. <img src="http://www.pcabusers.net/forums/images/smilewink.gif" style="width: 16px; height: 16px;" alt=":D"/>

Update: Adding the screenshot, which is only 4KiB.

Just before typing this I ran a speed test at telusnet and got 410 Kbs mine seems to vary a lot. It never goes below 150 Kbs and usually is around 200-300 Kbs. I have Road Runner through Time Warner in So Calif.

I find it varies also. I am in Canada with Rogers @ Home.
It goes down quite a bit (mostly email) bit I find down loads fairly fast.Usually averages 80 to 100 kps
I try to stick to fast servers though. For example if you need an update for a Microsft proggy don't get it there go to tucows or cnet's fastest servers in your area.
Here is one of my faster d-loads ...355 kps.
my darn home page is down right now so I cant even show the jpeg.see what I mean?

anywhere between 100kb/s-700kb/s depending on the site I'm downloading from.

Mines only a 1.5 Mbit service so thats the max (187Kbps).
Got 1.36 on the speed test (170Kbps) so that's cool.
I'm not complaning one Mbit.

[rant]well, lets see here...mine is about...oh...maybe a big fat 0...because for some reason AT&T doesnt feel it necessary to offer cable internet in my neighborhood (middle of the biggest surburb of Dallas/Ft.Worth) and I am too far from the office thing for DSL and swbell doesn't give a rat's @ss so I am stuck with 24k dialup on my sh!tty phone line. [/rant]...but anyways, I think my friend averages about 17k/s...I dunno all that converting baud to bits or whatever confuses me...
