| Is there a dummies guide to..... You times kb/s by 8 to get you mb speed. So 1080kb/s x 8 = 8.6mb.

| Is there a dummies guide to..... Ok my calculation was wrong i forget the formula. You are on less than 1mb. Thing is on ADSL if you read your contract it is UPTO 8mb. Meaning if you are far from an exchange you get less. Do you live in the sticks?
