The servers can max out my speed (they're set to share via P2P at a max of 150Mbps per user so maxes out my connection within minutes)
Obviously I know traffic management if run on the line and P2P is listed as Bronze, so it maxes out at about 6.5MB/s (65Mbps) (however averages around 5.5-6MB/s and I saw I can upgrade to Pro and it would list P2P as Gold on the traffic management table,
My question is, before going a head and possibly adding the Pro onto my account do you think I could expect to see an increase in my P2P speeds and hit the max connection speed of 8.5-8.75MB/s (70Mbps which is what I can achieve via HTTP) or would it not be affected that much?
To give an example of how much I am using, I am hitting around 80GB a day in data with around 85+ % being P2P based.

I'll explain as clearly as I can, I made a pigs ear there.
My line runs about 68-70Mbps on average
My P2P data never surpasses 6.5MB/sec (52Mbps)
Peak times it does drop to around 5.0-5.5MB/sec (44Mbps) however it only does this sometimes, sometimes it doesn't drop at all but I can't seem to get it passed 6.5MB/sec
I know it sounds a little silly and 6.5 is a VERY good speed but I know the line can do more and as a large proportion of my traffic is made up of P2P I want to get the best I can I was just curious if getting pro would help push past the 6.5.

Not my area of expertise though but something to potentially consider.

if it is unlimited package or fibre it runs near the same it is not much notice on it.
if you on unlimited plan it is the same with pro
and it depends on the network card you have in the pc too

It's coming from a single connection, single machine (dedicated server with a guaranteed 150Mbps
I am running a Gigabit card and I know it's not my network, I've had faster P2P from the same set up before and even faster transfer speeds.

Quote from: davidwalker900 you never get that 150mbs download from a dedicated server with a guaranteed it depends on the download upload you have with the provider not a dedicated server speed
what I am saying is the server I am downloading has the capability of maxing out my connection.
Dom, I may take you up on that offer, I'll let you know
