| Platinum Member  | 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.

| Platinum Member | 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: 1 | I have been using the same plan for a long time now. Unfortunately this plan will give you only 25-30 Kbps download using torrents. It does jump up when downloading from other sites using download manager. I have run the speed tests and they have been mostly incorrect. I believe that the speed is capped for the unlimited plan users. Earlier when I was using the limited download plan I was getting much better speed. Anyway, I am switching to WiMax by end of this year, cant take this shitty speed anymore. |
