I can't believe t his but it is real.
A friend was sending a file to me and the transfer speed was super fast.....
it was not photoshoped. (becasue I don't knwo how to use photoshop) and pluse I don't know what the font for it is
look at this screenshot of the transfer window.
i know some photoshop but I used it just for blur and that is it.
i sware I didnot make it say that it just happend
Piracy is bad.
well how far away is your friend, using the same ISP, how far away from the isp as well? iv had that happen to me before, not alot but once in a blue moon!
-bolero
he is in new york i'm in california we are not using the same isp because my isp is only in california.
wow... must have been a large image/text file/bitmap/open source app!
lol sry, yeah, its happend here to when i d/l darwin .... good speed on opendarwins server
I get speed like that on IRC sometimes, downloading from xdcc's and fserves.
Maybe your ISP messed up your account with someone's who
had orgered a higher speed subscription ? 
Possible ?
now... if you were using an oc-18 line.... that would be average
It happens from time to time with my VDSL service.
Some times it screams, and sometimes it just acts normaly.
Most VDSL, ADSL and Cable Modem connections are capable of 100Mbps or faster.
Whenever my ISP does troubleshooting, they crank the connections wide open and I can watch the link indicator on my router go from 10Mbps to 100Mbps.
Next Level Communications does all the support for QWest out here and their technicians said that the VDSL lines can actualy run at 400Mpbs.

BTW... no such thing as OC-18.
Goes like this T-1, T-3, OC-3, OC12, OC-48.
And an OC-3 starts around $20,000.00 per month.
I doubt his carrier screwed that connection up.

Crikey that's expensive! Dumb question: How fast is it?

T1 is 1.5 Mbps
T3 is 45 Mbps
OC-1 is 51 Mbps
OC-3 is 155 Mbps
OC-12 is 622 Mbps
OC-48 is 2.488 Gbps
To put it into perspective, the speed of an OC3 connection is 155Mbps. This is equivalent to 3 T3 lines or 84 T1 lines. An OC12 connection is 622Mbps, equivalent to 14 T3 lines or 414 T1 lines.
OC-48 lines cost around $200,000.00 per month. 
Bloody hell that is fast! Makes my 512kpb/s connection look like crap

Yeah, but aren't OC-3 and above meant for backbone networks like BT?
And don't forget E-lines (E1, E2, E3, etc.), the European equivalent of T-lines (T1 et al.)
Doesn't OC stand for "Operator Carrier" or something (i.e. the carrier used by operators such as BT for their backbones 
)

OC is for Optical Carrier and the Number is the service level (3, 12, 48, etc).
They are used by every MAJOR ISP and large corporations for WAN connectivity.
For mom and pop type ISP's and such, they typicaly stick with T's or as Stevie said above, E's.
In the U.S., you can get anything up to T3 service in your home.
OC connections are for business use only and cannot be delivered to a residential dwelling.
As for E1 service, I just did some checking and due to regulations, for the U.K. anyway, it's not offered for home use.
Your stuck with ISDN, ADSL or satellite and of course dial-up.

Exactly...
I couldn't remember the exact details, but I was "taught" all this sorta thing by a friend of mine who maintains these sorts of links as the main component of his job (his job title is something like ATM/WAN Service Management Technician, or somesuch)...
And yeah, he did have to deal with OC lines...
This is a guy to whom T/E lines are soooo last week

I agree... T/E lines are so last century. 
Heck... I can get almost OC-3 speeds out of my VDSL line at home if I had the $$$.
Right now it's running at 1.5 Mbps up and down, which is T-1 speed.
But it's capable of up to 400 Mbps according to Next Level Communications.
But the tech did say 100 Mbps is more realistic for sustained levels.
I'm just waiting for Qwest to offer faster packages for home users.
I only pay $40 per month for the 1.5 Mbps service. But that's the fastest speed they offer right now.
I know cable modems can be a bit faster on the download speeds, but they use shared bandwidth instead of dedicated like A/V/DSL service. And almost every cable company restricts upload speed to like 300 kbps, which is way to slow for even email with attachments.
