Speed (kbps) Translated to: Speed (KBps)
Information i posted way back in march this year i thought it would be a good idea to repost this again as it shows the BB speed guide table (info useful to *Cable & Adsl users)
*As NTL are soon to upgrade their cable speeds across their BB network you can work out just how fast your connection (approx) should be.
ADSL 2048/256
upload around 32kb/s
download around 250kb/s
Speed (kbps) Translated to: Speed (KBps)
128............................................... ..16
256............................................... ..32
384............................................... ..48
768............................................... ..96
1000.............................................. .125
1500.............................................. .187.5
2000.............................................. .250
3000.............................................. .375
7100.............................................. .887.5
And so on.................
The speeds above are the same factor for Upload as well.
A KiloByte = a KiloBit divided by 8
Example: 2000 Downstream is equal to 2000/8 (2000 divided by 8) Which gives you 250KBps maximum downstream.
A slower upstream (upload) speed can traded off for a faster downstream (download) speed.
DrAwesome does not suggest that you fiddle with your settings as you may be in breach of your isp BB T&C's.
