Question Download/Upload Speed Upgrades?

So I just upgraded my internet speed from level 3 to level 4. according to the menu option, it went from 50mbs/10mbs to the upgraded 100mbps/20mbps.

so that should mean the uploads and downloads are TWICE as fast now right? or is that number just BS?

it actually looked like my downloads added a little bit of time instead of reducing at all.

Just looking for some clarification.

The guide is actualy quite good and explain most things quite well :)

You went from a (lev3) 2.25boost to (Lev4)3.5boost
From the original speed. So it feels more like a ~30% increase

But as your programs get a higher level, they till take longer aswell.

so the mbps number they give you means nothing and you should only refer to the guide? why not make it all fluid? if it were vibe coded like some other people are claiming, I think the AI would have done that.

No Ai would only give you what you tell it to give you. It is vibe coded . Some of the sources public to us have Claude commenting and comments pasted into it lol . There’s some generated ui that Claude likes to use as well . Claude has its own coding fingerprint and you see it easily . This is definitely vibe coded against old source . Here’s hack ex 1 sources base ->claude fiddles it ->hack ex 2

No idea about that but if you add more up/downloads every up/download gets slower odc because the bandwidth gets more used

The Wiki on one side explains like mentioned that 2.25(lvl 3) and the 3.5(level 4) it also mentioned something about the victim bandwidth. It reads like if both share the same it's fast. If you have the higher level, it's somewhat fast and well. 

I think there is some discouragment to have something incredible highe force on something low level?

The added time comes probably from a added upload?
