That's pretty good. That's like 6mb/s. Which is pretty good.

byte=8 bits
6224 kilobit=6224000 bits
6224000/8=778000 bytes
778000 bytes=778 kilobytes

Download speed= 778 Kilobytes per second. Or about 3 times faster than regular DSL, 2 times faster than a slow cable connection. What is this line, T1 or something? I hope you all understood ^^ that.

wow thanks for the reply foog, it really cleared things up for me. It is a standard cable connection from Comcast, but since my dad works there he gets some special benefits and we get it for free.
