Is there a best day or time to download games? Usually speed is not an issue, but lately is less than 1 MB a second, which, as you can imagine, is painfully slow.

I know Australian speed internet!

I've been noticing that the GOG servers have been running slow as well. Is there too much server load right now?

Noticing this as well of late. Used to get at least 900 KB/s or better, but now lucky to hit 700 KB/s and usually around 500.

Wow. And here I am browsing at 128Kbps.
:(

I really need to get a decent job.

A Descent job.

Okay that was stupid.

Hopefully the NBN will get finished and we'll finally have decent speeds. The cables have actually been put in at my street, but I've yet to be contacted to have the box installed etc.

I love how great all your speeds are, I am stuck at .28 (that is a point)mb. I have a supposed 3mb up and 300k down at the very best of times. Fortunately I never get less than 240k down when I download from gog

Lucky bastard Same here supposedly mines Download :: 4.9 Mbps 613 kB/s Upload :: 621 Kbps 78 kB/s see how annoyingly slow Australia's COPPER NETWORK is!

I know how it feels Clisair my DL was like yours took WEEKS for ONE large game to download I Blew up at my ISP I yelled at them that I said : "For the F**KING MONEY I DAMN WELL PAY I SHOULD BE GETTING HYPERSONIC INTERENT F***ING SPEEDS WHY AM I ONLY GETTING 100 to 84kbps DOWNLOAD" they asked me how much I pay and I pay 200 Bucks a Month! for 0.6Mbps download speeds it's Ridiculous!

But that's TEN TIMES the speed of a well-proven 28.8kbit/s modem, what are you complaining about?

That's only since earlier this year and probably a result of the Ziggo and UPC merger here. I think they streamlined their contracts, settings, etc. Guess as a UPC customer that was in my advantage as I hadn't had speed changes for a few years.
I went from 25 Mbit up, 15 Mbit down to 200 Mbit down and 25 Mbit up. I'm not complaining :D

Damn wish our Shitty expensive internet over here was that fast I'm still on ADSL

Competition helps, though it's decreasing here. Ziggo and UPC were no competitors as both are cable ISPs and there's no overlap in networks here. ADSL can't get the speed cable can.
Fiber is getting more and more available here, which is a big competition for cable. In some of the more remote areas where high speed internet isn't available, people have come together to get their own fiber network.
In the past with ADSL we've had a lot of ISPs. It helped to get rid of download limits, increase speeds, etc.

Yeah, I've noticed the speed is still slow many days later.
