I have an extensive review of my operator, Hathway internet in Bangalore here =>
Well, as for Speeds.. I have a 256 kbps connection:
For direct HTTP connectons: max- 34-35 kBps (Full throttle i guess)
Avg: Generally 20-30 kBps (With d/l Managers)
FTP: Nearly the same but depends on server limitations..
Bit torrent: Ranging from 5 to 30 KBps depending on sources.
Avg: Generally near about 25 if enough sources
Limewire: From 10-30 kBps.. Avging at 20-22
Thats it for Lay man! Now for the technicalities! I recommend u visit that review..
I use AnalogX Netstat live..
It gives realtime stats.. I generally get the avg speed in it as 230-240kbps.. Now the interesting thing is the max parameter in it shows that tghe connection peaks at more than 1000kbps. What do u think?
Pls check the photo i have 'print-screened' here=>
