Hi

Every single download ive ever done on this internet starts of at 1.2 MB/s then after maybe 2 hours it drops to 250 KB/s.. and stays there until the next day when it is at 1.2 MB/s again i have no idea why its doing this and its really annoying when your trying to download something over a gig

Thanks in advance
 
Because they can and it saves them bandwidth. It sucks for the rest of us that have to pay for their service. Why do you think their user agreements always state you will get up to 10mb/s or whatever your upper limit is.

Also, it used to be that many downloads used to be smaller files so if they allowed you to burst for a minute or two you would have the complete file downloaded. Now that people download large files like music and video, we now notice the speed drop off after a few minutes.
