    Anything over 85% effeciency is very good due to the built in data checking.

    2048 x 0.85
    = 1740kbits/s

    So above that would probable be rare.

    Thank You!

    Stop using irishisptest.com for evaluation of your speeds.

    Download a 20MB or so from an Irish server to get a better idea of your true speed as 2/3/4mbit lines take longer than 512k lines to reach max velocity.

    Think about it....1mbyte can be downloaded now in 5 seconds with a 2mbit line.
    A 4mbit connection will download it in 2.5 seconds.

    Most hard drives arent even spinning fast even in 3 seconds to give a correct reading.
