I have a 3 Mbps down 768 Kbps up DSL connection, $35 a month, no download cap, no contract. Eircom still have a long way to go to catch up to the rest of the world.

Sorry is it just me or have they got the kilobyte to megabyte ratios all wrong??

Should it not be...

azezil · 10-03-2005 9:37pm

that speed referes to how the download rate

i.e. on a 1mb line you can expect to download at 100kb/s

It should be 1Mbps, megabits, not 1MB megabtyes, there is a big difference, actually 8 times the difference.

po0k · 10-03-2005 9:40pm

Captial B for Bytes Az, ikkle b for bits.

It's funny that Eircom also try to explain the difference between bits and bytes on the same page.
Fúcking morketing morons.
