3Mbit connections don't mean 300KBytes per second LOL...

3Mb / 8 bits = .375 which basically means a maximum download speed of
375KBps.

I average 500KBps on my cable and last I checked, my Videotron connection
is 4Mbps so it checks out. :-)

can pull 3mbps+ through newsgroups, around 1mbps on most downloads

Sometimes when I dl a song or something like that, I get 80...and Im like"HOLY SHIT! 80 kbs!!!"

i never stated that connection speed equaled download speed; jesus h. christ

I think there is actually a conversion from the connection speed to actual download speed.. Something like 1/10 or something so if you have a 3mbps connection you should have around 300mps download speed.. Ill try and find a link to where I saw this..
