well considering you can download at up to 1500 kilobits / second.. i would say it's entirely possible.
you're only getting 55 kilobytes per second.

it's all in your head dude, all in your head. you cant get those speeds on adsl... steam has speed calculation issues

and its in bits, not bytes

no glitch.. steam measures in kilobits.. divide by 8 to get kilobytes... it's not that hard man.
Post 7
thats F@$King stupid who measures anything in kilobits i rather measure in bytes
suppose if you think about it if it was doing that speed would only take hour or 2 to download hl2 :S
they needa fix that
Post 8
why is it stupid? it's clearly indicated. b = bits. B = bytes.

Kb/s
thats why im saying its stupid why not say
kbits/s so ppl know
kb/s
i dont see it clearly marked anywhere b = bits and B = bytes
B can mean both
do you see adsl companys offer 512 KB :P no its in Kbits

umm.. anyone who cares about download speed should know the difference between b and B. ISP usually sell plans in (k) because it is understood 1500k is kilobits... and usually explained somewhere too
Post 11
well i have seen half-life 2 update @ 1.1 mb / sec.
Post 12
burk your wrong cos unless you tell the companys about the mistake on there website they leave it as that COUGH TELSTRA
Like the mistake they where making with there limit they put the wrong measurements on there site and screwing themselves over.
anyone else noticed how telstra change the way the measure your usage now ?
Post 13
is it right now? omg! yes! and now is when i looked.. on telstra (who list is as kbps) internode and iinet list is as (k)
Post 14
