The Real Connection Speed

Your ISP didn't lie about your connection speed. It's not "1 megabyte a second," it's "1 megabit a second."

If I remember correctly 8 bits = 1 byte, so you divide by 8. If your internet is 1 Mb/s then your download speed is ~115-120 KB/s or 1000Kb/s.

Here are the abbreviations:

MB = Megabyte
Mb = Megabit(1/8 of a megabyte)
KB = Kilobyte
Kb = Kilobit(1/8 of a kilobyte)


Hopefully that helps you understand better, . People just always misinterpret MB and Mb as being the same, even though they aren't.

A few good points were made above but also a few very bad ones.

You firstly must remember that if its school or college you are attending that when you get a job and hopefully its a 9 to 5, your schedule will not change that much. So getting yourself into a daily routine now, will benefit you in the long run.

Breakfast.
If your going for a run in the mornings, there is no point filling yourself up before you start or else you'll cramp up or feel sick. But your just after sleeping for 8 hours I hope, so your completely empty. Try some toasted brown bread (2 slices) with honey, and a glass of orange juice. Give it about twenty minutes to digest while you get your bag and other stuff packed for school. Then go for your run and shower afterwards to revitilise your muscles and mind. On your way to school / work try a nutri-grain bar or a banana, with plenty of liquids - water or more recommended, a power aid drink. Due to your run your musles lack energy now. Have a coffee if you wish.

If your not going for a run in the morning, try maby a bowl of cereal with nuts (my favourite is that crunchy nut feast, or wheetaabix with nuts and chopped banana) and an egg with some juice. Get out of the habit of using salts or sauses, their only good for weekening the muscles.

Lunch.
If its possible always have soup with brown bread for lunch. You shouldn't need butter but its not really bad if you use a small bit. Try not to use soup from cans, if you can get the one from them cartons, much better. Try different flavours so you dont get bored of the same one each day.

If soup is too hard for you to make at school or work take a sandwich.
Important: No point having small skimpy flat like ones, and eating loads of them. Better to have one fullyloaded. My favourite would be Brown Bread, Chicken, Lettuce, Cheese and even Mayo on it. You gotta make sure you enjoy your food! Sometimes I even add stuffing most times. After the one sandwich I'm full though. I dont recommend yogerts but I'm not against them intirely. If you want one, get fruit and nut ones.

Before your training you can have maby a small bit of chocolate but keep it plain, no caramel. Maby have half the bar 25minutes before training and the other half afterwards.

Dinner.
I liked who ever said home-cooking, this is very important. Yes, potatoes and pasta are the best for this. One of my favourites is potatoes, carrots / peas or beans with a meat or chicken. If its pre-prepaired this can be cooked in 25-35 minutes.
For desert stick to the simple fruit, maby some grapes(make sure seedless) mandren orange, dribble some apple juice over it and treat yourself to a half scoup of ice-cream.

You shouldnt need to eat for the rest of the night. But if you do, no matter what it is, shouldn't be any bigger then three small mouthfuls. And should not be ate less then an hour before your head hits the pillow.

Ill put my house on it your health will sky rocket mate, and you'll feel wonders while you train.
So I hope this is what you wanted.

Well I personally have a WiFi internet connection(Where I live it's either that or 33.6k dialup...We can't even get 56k out here) so mine ranges anywhere from 400 Kb/s to 4 Mb/s(Around 50 KB/s to 480 KB/s download rates).

To fix your issue of "too many graphics" I would suggest having two versions of your site - one with graphics and one without.

1. The type of your connection (for example dial-up) Broadband

2. The real speed upload/download (you can figure this out by for example downloading something, I don't have use for the upload thing tho, so it doesn't matter if you don't know it)

That was my speed for downloading 5 games off Steam Powered as well!
