No it's not. That means I get to download things off of your servers at full speed with my home Internode connection.

Yes. Provided the other end could cope with your download speed anyway though.

That is what I hate about HP.com and Microsoft they have very great upload speeds so downloading is always close to MB per sec, yet they never have anything good to download.

You could possibly tell me, in your opinion do you think the new system since 1st July uses more bandwidth then the old system? Personally, I don't see how, practically still the same system. My boss seems to think it has been though.

Haha, oh how I don't miss Aus internet speeds. Last time I checked when I moved into the new place here it was around 18-20mb/s. I'll try it again in the morning if I remember.

Last house I was in you could get close to 50mb/s.
