how fast should 1.5 DSL/cable download?

[YoungstaxGx]

i get aobut 170KBS average on a good server on my 1.5mb DSL.....some of my friends claim they get 300KBS on their DSL sometime..

 

[Maddman]

between 180 to 190 k/sec. at the most

 

[Warlord2]

you should be getting about 200KB a sec so that is about right

try doing a test at www.dslreports.com and see what you score

someone help me on this "Up to 384K/128K" how fast is that? is that 1.5mbs? or is this 1.5megabits "Up to 1500K/128K"....kinda confused




is 384K = 384 kilobits or bytes.....and is 1500 bits or bytes?

 

[Maddman]

384 is Kbps so 384Kbps= 48k/sec
128Kbps witch = 16k/sec
1.5Mbps= 1500Kbps= 187k/sec

all of these are esamations as your final transfer rate is afected by a lot of things from the server you download from and general net congestion to the quality of your end of the connection
