Man u understand it all wrong.

115 kbps is actuly [bold]115 kilo bits per sec[/bold]. and download speed is shown to u is 3 [bold]kilo bytes per sec[/bold]. So there is nothing wrong to your connection. For 25 KBps you will need atleast 256 kbps Connection.

Something is definitely wrong with his connection with 115Kbps connection he should get 12-14KBps of downloading speed.

With a 115Kbps connection, you should get an average 10+KBps. For 25+, get atleast a 256Kbps connection.

in theory the maximum speed u get under ideal conditions when all network and time slots r dedicated to only u and nothing else (which is not possible practically in commercial era)
is === 115/8 i .e. 14.375
so , u should get atleast 10-12 kbps constant download speed
try using DAp or torrents
check that ur antivirus software is not decreasing speed
or ur firewall is not blocking incoming and outgoing traffic
or the website from which u r downloading is itself slow.
turn off all automatic updates or programs running in background and eating your bandwidth

try any thing u will never get speed more than 5KBPS on tata. as they provide limited bandwidth on walky

See the tata walky is a CDMA based service. Here the same bandwidth is shared between users so u will not be getting speed in excess of 40 kbps and what u are getting right now can only increase if u some how get all the walky surrndered in ur area (JOKING). So its the time for Broadband

my 256kbps broadband gives me 35kbps. relatively ok. since this is India afterall.

dude 35 kbps is just great. Maximum is supposed to be 32 kbps. My ISP gives 28 at the max.

Hey try download accelerators such as 'DAP' to increase ur speed upto 8 to 10 kbps.
I think it's better than having 3kbps

i think you're talking bout 35 KB/s(kiloBYTE/second) not kb/s(kiloBIT/second)

@Mehul . Yours must be 32 KB/s not 32 kbps!! I think you typed it by mistake.
