Thread: Speed problem

Hi All,

This is my first post in India Broadband. This is really "THE" place where i got solutions of many of my problems.

I am using Reliance Broadnet for past 3 months. My plan is Rs 750/month(flat free) the bandwidth allocation is 150Kbps.

When i am downloading anything, the dowlaoding speed reaches to around 25Kbps max. The average speed remains to be 17Kbps. I wanted to know if this is the right downloading speed that i am getting or is there any problem with my connection.

Thanks

Yes this is the right download speed

You can search the forum for the explanation where members has give explanation for this and how to calculate the speed you would get many times

i will explain it again

i am also on the same 150 Kbps connection and i also get 18 KBps speed

Did you notice the difference in the above sentence in the "b" and the "B"

"B" means bytes and "b" means bits
8 bits = 1 Byte

so if it are on a 150 Kbps connection you will get max speed of 150/8 = ~18 KBps which is 18 bytes per second. if you are on a 300 kbps connection then you will get ~37 KBps

so the speed you are getting is good enjoy

Ur getting speeds like any one else of the same plan...
Thanks!!

Thanks a lot everyone for your help.

i think its not correct explanation.

ur connection speed is actually 150 kilobytes per sec and not 150 kilobits.

no ISP provides something in bits..

the reason is even though ur bandwidth allocation is 150 KBPS u get atmost 10 times less than that.

try to use google download accelerator which may increase ur speed to 30KBPS

tinkurajesh i think that you are wrong
All ISP provide speeds in kilo bits per second and not in kilo bytes per sec, like 150 kbps where b is "small", it means bits, if the B is "Capital" it means bytes

it is only in windows you will see KB/sec which is in bytes

its a shame that on the reliance broadband website, you wont come across a single statement about what kbps really stands for.

I imagine thousands of unsuspecting folk based their acceptance of the connection saying, "well unlimited 75 kbps is pretty darn good for 400 bux!" having the windows transfer rates in mind. I can't even imagine the look on their faces when a simple antivirus update takes 3 days to download, obviously @ 9 KBps.

And yes ankurtan yur speed is good fr what was promised. Lets hope it stays dat way.

from next month onwards u will get 400kbps for the same price. or may b they hv already implemented it. They hv increased the bw in 300 plan & reduced prices in 600 & 1mb plans.

you are wrong tinkurajesh...

for 150kbps plan 18-19Kbps speed is fine

1 byte = 8bits
1024bytes = 1 Megabyte
1024 Megabyte = 1 GB

my teacher told me all this when i was in 6th class and i still remeber...

buddy but as such there is no increase in speed ....400kbs means i shud get 400/8=50kbs....but i m even not getting 37.5 kbs in total.....m just getting 33kbs tht to whn i m using IDM.....ab kya karen.....?????

Internet Download Managers do not increase your broadband speed. They make downloading more efficient by optimum use of every bit of bandwidth at all times and continuous monitoring. Also they are able to recover from a broken connection and take off from where the download was interrupted.

Standard downloading does not make use of the full pipe. So it is like getting small water pressure thru a large pipe.

Anyone who tells you the with IDM you will be able to increase ISP speed is taking you for a ride.

tht is ok but some r of the view tht google dm is better thn IDM...thts why asking......

i think IDM is good option but only if you get a crack....

getting IDM cracked is an easy thing u get on each n every forum ............anybody experienced the chng in speed......frm 300 to 400.....coz i m still getting 33-35kbs at my pc.....

m not using any Download Manager... but still getting good transfer rate... about 70-80...
and line rate about 500-550kbps
