    Broadband speed guide help please...

    Hi all.

    I currently have a broadband connection (512kbps) and get around 55kbps when downloading files. However, what ideally would be the speed times for the following:-

    1MB
    2MB
    4MB
    8MB
    16MB

    TIA - Dav

    Take each conection in kbits/sec and divide by 8 to get the KB/s speed. This will give you the speed you could get in perfect conditions.

    512/8 = 64KB/s dowload etc

    For reference sake 512 is less then 1mb so it is kind of slow in today’s terms. Average dsl is usually like 1.5mb cable usually like 4mb depending on the companies.
