Thread: Downloading speeds

Can someone clarify me with something.

I have a 256 kbps broadband.While downloading a file I normally(mostly) get 50~60 kbps.But ocassionally speed goes way high max 250 kbps(FOR A MINUTE OR SO). I even downloaded 1(ONLY ONCE) file at 215~ kbps(VERY VERY RARE).Why does this varies so much?

1. Try a download from Microsoft and report the speed.

2. Post your SNR and attenuation values.

3. Go to speedtest.net, perform a speed test and post the result /screen shot.

What the hell was that??
SNR and attenuation values.????
How do I get that???

OK WORKING

a. Type 192.168.1.1 in your browser.

b. Use ID and password as admin.

c. Post the screen shot of landing page.

Feedback on 1 & 3 required.

Your speed is too good for a 256 Kbps. I don't see any reason to complain. In fact for 256 Kbps you should get no more than 32 KBps.

Well I'm not complaining but just asking why does this happen?

Some error at BSNL side I think. May disappear as it came. Enjoy while you have it

Hello friend i just take a BSNL Broadband connection (625Unlimited@256Kbps)
and i got speed 25-35 Kb/s
Can any one tell me how can i increase downloading Speed
is it any hack or trick i am just new guys in B'band field hope you guys 'll help me

Thankssss

The speed you are getting is fine.

256 Kbps = 256/8 = 32 KBps

Kbps = Kilo bits per second.

KBps = Kilo Bytes per second.

Of course, it is a trick by ISPs. They like to advertise 256 Kbps as customers will feel that it is too high. Two years ago, when I first joined this forum was to ask the same question. Be relaxed. Use a good download manager like IDM.

Thankss bhai Ye S@le BSNL wale logon ko khoob bewakoof banat hai

and one Q again have you tried rs 274's recharge on 3g sim with 3g modem it give more speed then 625's plan

Always welcome

I think the trick no longer works. But there are is some workouts like using Rs. 999 Plan which gives unlimited bandwidth and costs Rs. 999 per month. Check the BSNL 3G section here.
