You will easily get the advertised speed of 256 kilobits/second or 32 kiloBytes/second from practically all sites. Since at that amount of bandwidth the bottleneck is still likely to be on your end and not the server. P2P (utorrent etc.) speeds will vary, but again you will be restricted to get 32 KiloBytes/second.
For the record, in Home500 I get upto 200 kiloBytes/second (aka 1600 kilobits/second) from some servers, bit slower in torrents (140 kilobytes/second) traffic flows both sides and that seems to overwhelm my modem.
So Home500 has nearly 6 times more throughput that the UL750 plan. Of course, the downside is that you are restricted to 2.5 GigaBytes/month (download+upload), but then again you can use the blistering speed between 0205 and 0755 hours.
Latencies are equally bad for both unlimited and limited home plans. :frown: So don't expect much of a miracle there compared to even dial-up.
Speed is low only on Home500 type higher speed connections (1600 kbits instead of 2000 kbits) because of distance from BSNL exchange, line noise etc. Even so, 1600 kbits/seconds is decent since most servers will be bottlenecked and not serve you data any quicker anyway. P2P is different issue.
In UL750 I have not found any person struggling to get 250 kbps. When I can get 1600 kbps located so far from BSNL, with tremendous attenuation figures, 256 kbps is child's play in comparision. It might seem that you are getting 80% but some programs measure this more accurately than others.
Always use splitter and configure modem correctly.
The biggest issue most users have with Dataone is high latencies. :wall:
