A lot of us are use to the kbps reading when downloading a file. Remember that when these internet providers talk about speeds, they give them in megabits, not megabytes. So, divide their numbers by 8, and that gives the kbps, or mbps speed in a a number to which at least I can more easily relate. So, 1 meg down is 0.125 kbps at best. Keep in mind that oftentimes one does not get the maximum advertised download or upload speed for varying reasons.

If you're right, and the download speed is 1 mbps, I could live with that. I could still listen to 128 kbps streams with Winamp. I called up our local T-Mobile store, and they also said the speed was 2G. When I asked the salesperson what meant numbers wise, he said it was like having dialup speeds. If he's right, I couldn't listen to Winamp streams above 32 kbps, which isn't good. Hopefully I won't find out which speed is correct, and when the money situation improves I'll probably go to the maximum amount for my device, which is 12 gb. Thanks for the info.
