Uh...browsing is downloading, because you are downloading the page off some server. And I don't think downloading speeds are determined by dividing by 8. Because I have 3600kbps modem, and it reached speeds of 1600kbps! (I 'downloaded a song') * +

16mb is normal for full browsing, its actually low, itd b alot higher if u browse high res sites and streaming media, if u wanna keep usage down avoid sites with high res pics and stay away from vid sites like youtube, i hope u didnt take the usb on a contract or pm arrangement, cheapest route is buying the modem loose or using ur phone and then buying a data bundle * +

Yep. Bought that 7.2mbps capable modem off. And I buy those R189 data bundles (500mb) I should probably get Telkoms ADSL? * +

Unfortunately, I cant reach speeds of 7.2mbps - only 3.6mbps. They said in around 3 months time, theyd have 7.2mbps coverage! * +

connection speed is measured in kilobits p/s while files are usually in kilobytes 1byte=8bits thus to determine actual download speed we devide the connection speed by 8, either ur mistaken or lying when u say u got 1.6mb p/s on a 3.6mb connection, thats simply not possible * +

No. I'm definitely not lying. Because right now, Im reaching speeds of over 450kbps (3600/8 = 450). The guy at Vodashop told me I'd reach speeds of about 2mbps (highest). And the software that came with the modem shows me my Upload and Download speed! When I downloaded a song, with Opera, both showed the speed to be 1.6mbps. *
