Do you believe this ??? I am from kerala....i got this 2 tests between 5 mins interval...Mine is a home 500 plan & from yesterday onwards its damn slow also.....(70-80 kbps)...I think this bsnl speed tester is a fake one ...When i was in mandriva linux ,it shows 10 kb/s and in win xp its 200 kb/s (same system).....but downloading speed is same in both os (10-15 kb/s ) (yesterday).......Anyway i have to complain abt my connection's speed...earlier it was 200 kb/s...

I have both ubuntu linux and xp.
bsnl speed tester works only in xp( or i think U need to change some settings in linux). even for me in linux it shows below 10Kbps. but the browsing speeds are the same. i find no difference.

have you tried downloading XP SP3 from the link in one of my previous posts to see the actual download speed possible on your connection?

try this.windows XP SP3 from softpedia.took me around 26 minutes to download in afternoon using IDM---
Windows XP Service Pack 3 Download - Softpedia

i downloaded it today morning. it took me 24 min( not much different from yours). but the significant thing is avg spedd was 280KB/s and peak speed was 330KB/s and most of the time it was above 270KB/s. but twice it went down to 90KB/s hence it took 24min. but the thing is all speed tests show above 3Mbps.
And also webpages and you tube videos open very fast.
I presume that for a youtube video to play properly U need to wait for a minute or so for it to load( usually happens for me before). but now i plays instantly without break. for a 20min video it loads fully within 3 mins( high quality).
So i'll download more and tell U tomorrow.

if U havn't seen yet see my previous post for download speed.
what is the use of xp sp3. should i install it. i presently have xp sp2(not original).

whitestar_999 · 02-05-2008

my suggestion is install it.it should install even if xp is not original.i am using it & my system's performance is much better than before though i did a format & then install a fresh copy of XP SP2 & then immediately installed SP3.also let me know your download speeds for other downloads too preferably for big files like movies using torrents.

narasimhan1990 · 02-05-2008

ok i'll try downloading tonight and reply tomorrow.
anyway i'm not going to risk installing sp3 cause i don't know what to do if some problem occurs.
