Re: Acceptable DSL Speeds (ms based)

I agree with that regarding download speed, I like to see 85-90% on a 1.5 connection, that usually works out to 1.3M - 1.35M...

And, yes this is purely for conversation and other viewpoints.

Thanks,

Surely this is completely subjective?

Wearing my end-user hat, I see, and expect, TCP traffic flowing at
about 55kB/s on a BT Home 500 circuit, and proportionally higher
throughputs on the 1000 and 2000 offerings.

If it routinely fell below about 75% of the theoretical maximum even
to close sites, I'd switch providers.
