But now i am facing an another problem which is the download speed, i am using BSNL "BBG FN 500" PLAN which is known as 2mbps in the speed sector, but when i am try to download any application by using any download manager like "IDM" or by bittorrent the maximum speed was around 220kbps, is this the normal speed under this plan or some serious problem was been occurring in my system. please help to understand that issue.

THANKS IN ADVANCE.....................

You are getting proper speed.

2 Mbps = 256 KBps ~ 220 KBps. You won't be getting anything higher than this.
