Ok, thanks everybody!
Thing is, with the current infrastructure the way it is, the 20% overhead may not be too far off. You've got the last mile problem, where you have plenty of bandwidth for all the customers going to the final hub, but from there you're oversaturating your lines. ive noticed over the last two years, the number of wireless networks I can see has gone up from around 10 to around 35, and at the same time our 2.2mbit connection has become a 1.8mbit which is almost exactly 20%.
Bah, you and your fast speeds. I live in the friggin silicon valley and we still dont even have the option for anything faster than 6mbit.Yeah, but that's real situational... I get the full advertised 15/1 mbits down/up on my line, and I'm sure there are some ISPs providing their customers with much less than 80% of the advertised speed.

When I was living in residence at school, I had a blissful 45/~30 mbit down/up connection, with very few restrictions.
Ironically, there's nothing west of the maritimes (ie. area that covers 93% of Canada's population) in Canada that gives 15mbit or better service without download caps, which is very likely where I'm going to end up after I finish school.
Where in Canada are you? I'm in Nova Scotia, and as I said, the connections slow down after 5.00 pm. I assume thats because of traffic. There's only two (actually, maybe three, but I'm not sure if that office downtown is an ISP or not) ISPs around here.
Is there any programme I can use to convert a lot of image files at once instead of opening them up one by one?
I'm looking for an online storage place to upload and download files at leasure. Can anyone help?
