Title: OLED Bandwidth meter quirks
Post by: weoh on September 30, 2008, 07:16:01 PM

If i'm downloading something at 5 Mb/s and uploading at 500 Kb/s, the bandwidth meter on the OLED screen says, I'm downloading at 5 Mb/s and uploading at 0 Mb/s. 

What's going on?  Why can't one say Mb/s while the other says Kb/s?  Or why doesn't it use decimal points?

Is this going to be fixed?

I'm not understanding what the problem is.
The oled is a rate estimation, it's not exact.

Yes this is very annoying!  I have 10 meg / 800 k dsl service and when everything is maxxed out it reads 10 meg down / 0 meg up!

The scales for down and up should be independant (i.e. mb/s and kb/s if appropriate).  I have sent an email to this effect, but it was ignored.

If you also find their implementation annoying, please let them know.  I am sure we are not the only ones that are disappointed.....

Is it difficult to have one showing kbps while the other displays mbps?  It just seems silly when I'm looking at the display to estimate how much upstream bandwidth is being used, it says 0 mbps(if the downstreem is > 1 mbps). 

I'm uploading zero data while video conferencing?  Because that's what it's telling me.
