hello once again
i am using a wired broadband connection i have some problems with it
problem is speed, i have subscribed for 1mbps plan but i get download speed only upto 120kbps i saw the speed in the network monitor the speed am getting shows 1 or more than 1 mbps but in the usage section it maximum goes only upto 10% so is there anything that can be done
well i am talking about India we do't get that kind of great max upto 5mbps i have done speed test through speedtest.net it shows my downloading speed upto 1.2mbps but i never get that much

only thing you can do is contact your internet service provider and they should run some test to see if there's a fault

@Rahul You are signed up to a 1 Megabit per second service.
Your download speeds are measured in bytes.
There are 8 Bits to a byte.
A 1Mbps line usually results in 120kB/s downloads. You're getting what you're supposed to get.

I am subscribed to 512kbps and i get 60-64kB/sec download speed.

Does that 1.5mbps amount to actual download speeds of lets say 1500 kB/sec??

Btw which is your ISP?

Never heard of wi5 broadband.Anyway if that's the case you better contact your ISP and tell them you are getting variations in download/upload speeds.
