Yeah I know, when I tried upload large files to Rapidshare and Megaupload, I was uploading at 7kb/s, when I'm supposed to upload at 9 times that at 64. The reason? Their servers are in like England or Germany or something like that
it might happen cause u passed your download limit though yeh, maybe its the server ur downloading from i passed my 20GB download, but the moment i reach 40GB it goes back to normal speed. I have ADSL +2 as well and mine downloads at 1.5MB a sec if its direct from a website
No, read up on the first page. There are a bunch of factors which cause the speeds to vary no matter your connection to the ISP.
I have 7.6mbp/s but im downloading 600kbps-800kbps ('cause new zealand has ---- broadband) and WTF my other computer downloads 800kbps-1mb and its like older [using it for linux =)]
