Rep Power: 13 | Test your internet speed at speedtest.net say Mumbai and Sydney each test will use about 15 MB data. if you have Unlimited plan test any time. Else during free NU hours ! All B/W meters show d/l u/l for a particular web site when surfing. Speed shown by free download manager etc , when downloading an application etc , more indicative of the speed of your connection. It will not be constant. |

Rep Power: 2 | yes i already have done the speedtest ant the site before posting here. also i found turning of ipv6 or sometin like that in properties of my connection helped solve the problem to some extent now speeds have reached a decent 10kbps for normal downloads and surfing. speedtest.net shows UL:0.25MB/sec DL:0.3MB/sec which i guess is the avg speed i should expect from my 256kbps unlimited plan corrct me if i am wrong. another discovery i made is that how is windows update able to dowload updates at constant speeds of 80kbps when all other apps are shut i mean i never get such speed when i download software,songs etc are microsoft update servers so damn powerful that they r able to spare so much bandwithc for updates? really amazing it seems.(found this when i ran DU meter+update on my PC) |

| Platinum Member | I would like to clear one thing that Kbps and KB/s are different things its Kilo bits per second and the latter one is Kilo bytes per second So if your bandwidth is 256 Kbps and you are getting download speed of 80 Kbps then whats the problem its ok for your line And yes one more thing try to configure your modem in G.dmt mode it will surely help a lot!

Rep Power: 2 | my problem is that the connection works fine on my PC with XP but slows on my laptop with vista like i mentioned in my 1st post....so i am guessing its some network config on vista that is causin problems. PS:want to add that my previous experience when modem is set to G.dmt mode is that my speeds were considerably reduced on my PC as compared to the speeds with ADSL and ADSL2+ enabled |

Rep Power: 13 | @black_orchid In XP pro Sp3 ( I have this OS only ) start/ RUN / type cmd type ipconfig /all Post data For Vista similar command. Post data. Para two : You may have to disable IPV6 in TCP/IP properties page in Vista OS system. Mention modem/router you use. |

vista-msconfig1.PNG restart the os and then run du meter again and see the BW statistics. there is a possibility that some virus is in ur system that is sending ur confidential data. | |
