1 Mbps = 1024 Kbps and
1 Kbps = 0.125 (1/8) kBps [1bytes = 8Bits, remember]

So, 1 Mbps = 128 KBps

Therefore 2.07 Mbps = 264.96 KBps

264 kBps is somewhere closer to 230kBps of yours.

1. Try disabling the QoS Reserved Bandwidth Limit or
2. Limit the Upload speed to gain more Download speed with tools like Speedlimiter pro.

OP has capitalized B in 230 kBps . I think he should be aware of the difference. Then why such type of question? :confused:
