My internet becomes completely unusable for all other purposes when downloading at about 6MB/sec.<p>I am paying for 50MB/sec.<p>Can I do anything about this? Are they throttling me?
Perhaps you are confusing mega bytes per second with mega <i>bits</i> per second? Internet speeds are usually sold in bits per second, while file transfer speeds are usually reported in bytes per second.<p>Let's do the math.<p>50/8 = 6.25<p>Subtract a little for overhead and 6 megabytes per second sounds reasonable.
