My friend claims speed of home 500 considerably decreases at night during the most of the unlimited hours. But Speed again increases at 6 AM.

Does the no.of users drastically affect the over all speed ?

Any home 500 users from kolkata plz reply your avg speed at night (after 2 am).

Also does changing the dns address have any effect on speed ?

I have never checked as do not download much. But when I did, and from my experience, it is varies 80 KB/s to 150 KB/s in uTorrent.

~200KBps in areas where not many people download from 2-8AM & ~100KBps in heavily congested bsnl networks as some users reported.

well u ll get around 50-130 KB/sec but if u r lucky then 220

and changing DNS will increase ur surfing speed not downloading

seking

I get an average of 200 KB/ps

kingsu

I got 150kbps(avg) in uTorrent

I used to get 220KB/s but somehow it plummeted to 80KB/s and then i did port forwarding and now i get 200+ KB/s

if u dosnt open some web pages frequently then they will throttle ur bandwidth.
try this for solution:
rapidshare.com /files /136140842 /iBroadBandHelper.zip.html

It is quite possible that for a few seconds you will get a speed burst. For example when you start to download something, you get a hyper speed in the beginning and then it settles down.

What is important is average and continuous speed.

OK. Yesterday I downloaded "The Guns of Navarone" from torrent. I already have the movie on VHS but I decided to give a try. The complete movie (1.88 GB) downloaded in 5 hours approximately (from usage details). This gives the speed at 107 KB/s.

didn't you read the previous replies?also never post your email address like this as bots continuously crawl over net to look for such posted email addresses & now you should expect lots of spam mail than before.

Atta, boy! I am tired of such postings as the post before you. Let us bring some moderation, i.e., kick ass!

same here, i also use RS for my downloads as i don';t like Torrents I just noticed from 3 days that from 2:10 am the speed is becoming slow. I am getting 103 kbps like this on RS. Similarly when i am downlaoding from any otehr sites which has direct links. like download.com like that. i am getting full speed . Any solution to this ?



From this time the yellow light goes ON and OFF then they autometcially chnage the IP and put me on 59.93. 242 *** from 59.93.193. ***

perry261

hey.. same here.. i use only torrents.. and the speed is very fluctuating.. but if im lucky.. ill get an average about 100..

i remember using rapidshare and DL Accelerator gave me wonderful speeds.. over 150 easily..

by the way.. does any1 know when the rapidshare free hours are?? (indian time).. used to have a premium account but not now..

thats_me

I thought Home 500 would atleast give above 200 KBPS speed at night. But most users get bellow 150 KBPS speed
