[QUOTE="gameboy, post: 199575, member: 177511"] Broadband connections are shared with a number of users sharing the same connection. Depends on the supplier but 20 to 1 is not uncommon. It's like a motorway when you're using broadband internet, most users are not send or receiving all the time. Like a motorway, you can all drive happily until it gets busy. Then it doesn't matter if you drive a Ferrari or a Reliant they all have to slow and wait. That's why some ISPs watch for 'fair use' as some users download movies and the like 24/7 clogging it for the others who share the connection. they get a warning then disconnected. On a lighter note, my wireless connection downstairs does a flaky ever time someone uses the microwave! [/QUOTE]
