Rep Power: 5 | Nobody is dead here ... but this question has been asked so many times that everyone is tired of answering anymore. You could have done a forum search on this issue. Anyway ... a) Internet speed is always denoted in kilobits per second abbreviated as kbps. b) When downloading something from the net (even a webpage), the speed in the browser is displayed in computer terminology or kilobytes per second. This is abbreviated as KBps or KB/s. c) 8 bits = 1 byte and hence if the ISP max speed is 256 kbps, the max download speed achievable is 32 KB/s. d) However, download speed also depends upon external factors such as network congestion, load on the source server, time of the day, etc. Before you cry foul on ISP speeds denotions, let me tell you that this is true worldwide and it is not something that Indian ISP's are doing.

Rep Power: 5 | And you could do a speed measurement on reputed sites such as Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test but even those are not always accurate. |

Rep Power: 0 | The speed of 40-50 kbps is good...but when you check the speed of your broadband connection using MTNL BB Speed Testing site...it astonishingly gave me results of 1.4-1.7 MBPS last night...... |
