Re: Why is my cable connection so damn fast?

I have a cable modem through comcast. I am now getting in the neighborhood of 700K to 800K per second download speeds. That's kilobytes, not kilobits, which means about 6 megabits a second, doesn't it? How can it be that fast?
I'm paying $45 per month including tax and such, and I thought this only got me 4 megabits per second at most.

600 kilobytes = 0.6 megabytes
kilobyte = 1000 bytes
megabyte - 1,000,000 bytes

lol...this is a very funny post if read by someone who actually knows what's going on. I think it's been pointed out before, but you know there's a difference between bits and bytes right? The OP referred to the number of megabits compared to kilobytes.
8 bits = 1 byte. You do the rest.
P.S 600 KB != 0.6 MB either [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
