Thread: fluctuating speed

am using homeplan 250,2mbps connection.i get speeds like 47kbps from direct downloads and sometimes get speeds of range of 200 kbps when downloading from torrents.why is that? am i supposed to get speeds of the range of 200 kbps from direct downloads as well? also what average speeds should i get from direct downloads?i know my phone line is in good condition because i used to get around 30 kbps when i had 750 UL connection that's roughly 250 kbps from a 256 kbps connection.when i tested my speed from the BSNL website speed test i got a DL speed of 1.31 MBps.is that good for a 2 MBps connection.

bsnl never says u will get 2mbps ok, its upto 2 mbps, depending on the server load. about downloads every dw manager has some features like finding the best source ie shortest or fastest. thats y u get 200kb/sc, 1.3 mbps is ok i get around 1.56 1.43 1. 23 mbps, so it really doesnt matter that much,

Yes I agree with sb21pro. Bsnl says that you will get from 256 to 2mbps in a 250 plan & it is also written that 2 mbps will be given where technically feasible. So that is normal. Wel you may get 200kbps or more from direct download also.
