8Mbit Broadband to Become Available in the UK

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the cheap-broadband dept.

UK Online is offering 8Mbit broadband service to the UK. The upstream is 400K, and there's a monthly download cap of 500GB, but at 40 pounds per month, plus 50 installation and a free wireless router in the package, that has to be among the best deals on offer from anyone.

    Except that the speed isn't 8MB/sec. It's 8Mb/sec, or 1MB/sec. Bytes, abbreviated with a capital "B", are equivalent to 8 bits, abbreviated with a lowercase "b." So, multiply 17.36 by 8 and divide by 24 and you get 5.786 days, a little under 6.

    I can see how you misspelled "Avogadro" in your name.
