How long does it take for you hux to download a typical 8GB game? Calculations give me something above 1 min - a bit faster than usual HDD can write, so I would bet ~ 3 min. Amrite? |
If I get good peers to download from, that's about right, 3 mins. Usually Steam and Origin servers are the fastest and most reliable, had a top speed of 88 mb/s or so, my HDD was doing some weird space rocket launch sounds  . |
If I had your connection I'd end up hoarding everything.
I've just finished downloading a 5GB Hdrip and it took me almost the entire day, go figure.  |

What I'd give for such connection. I still have 1/0.2 Mbit

And the thing is, if I get the ability to switch completely to one ISP, it will cost me more than now where I am paying internet and phone to one provider, and phone that I don't use to another provider
It's like I live in a middle age in some backwards village -.-" I live 7 km from the fucking center of the capital city!! *rage mode off*
