Thread: 4mbps connection but speedtest shows only 2.1mbps

I'm a new Airtel broadband user. I have a 4mbps plan (allows 25GB downloads before the FUP kicks in) and I don see a difference between the 2mbps and 4 mbps plans. The max download speed that i get is still around 250kbps on torrents. IS anyone else facing the same problem?

Also as per speed test and Intel broadband speed test, my download speed is being shown as 2.1 mpbs.

I want to know is it possible for my connection to show 2.1 mpbs download speed when i have taken a 4 mbps plan? Thanks a lot.

Are you sure you line is capable of carrying such speeds? as lots of users have not been migrated to that plan because of line limitations if your line is potent for that speed then call CC and to refresh your port like you said you are getting exact 2 MbPS i doubt that you port needs to be refreshed.
