divide the written speed of the plans by 8 and that will be your download speed... eg- Written speed is 512 kb/s then download speed will be around 64 kb/s.. Tried and tested..:toast:

The plans mentioned by the ISP is in Kbps i.e Kilobits per second. And the download speed we get is in KBps i.e KiloBytes per second.
1KB = 8Kb
=> 1kb = 1/8KB
=> 256kb = 256/8KB = 32KB
and so on..
Normally you dont get 32KBps but around 30KBps.

But i really get 71kb/sec = 575kbps

dude that will be the actual speed.. I get somewhere around 66kb/s as i have the 512 kilobits/s plan..

sometimes the download speed even goes upto 100 kb/s but that woukd be for seconds only.. on a average i get some 58-64 kb/s..

the actual speed in ADSL / DSL internet drops as you increase your bandwidth, and for lower speeds the sync speed is a little on the higher side... ex:

my actual plan speed : 1024 kilobits /second

my sync speed : 1152 kbits/ second

my theoretical download speed : 128KB/s

my actual download speed : 125 KB/s

when i was on 4mbit plan , sync speed = 4600kbits/second, theoretical : 512KB/s actual 420 KB/s

this is only in ADSL / DSL , this depends on 2 factors :

1. line state
2. distance from exchange
