What you are talking is very much different Sudhir. Please understand some basic concepts before you start calculating your internet speed. 1. When we measure our internet speed in KbPS, it means kilo bits per second, whereas, when you download or upload something, your browser shows you the speed again in KBPS which would means Kilo Bytes per second. Now since one byte is =to 8 bits, your download speed would always be 8 times less than your actual internet speed. So for example, if your internet speed is 256 KbPS, your download speed would be at least 32 KBPS. and if for example your internet speed is 2 MbPS, your download speed should be at least 250 KBPS. You might have certainly noticed, that when KBPS is written in terms of internet speed, then the letter B is written in small while all other letters are written in capital letters, while when your browser shows your the download or upload speed all letters are written in capital letters including the letter B. so small b refers to bits while capital B would refer to Byte. 2. Now what I meant in my previous mail does not relate to any of the concepts discussed above. A connecting speed is generally refers to the speed, which your device can have at the maximum rate. That is why when you connect your net through some LAN card, you would often hear jaws announcing "speed: 100MbPS, because your LAN can support maximum up to hundred MbPS, but your actual speed is not hundred MbPS. So in order to calculate the actual internet speed, just start downloading something and whatever speed it shows, just multiply with 8. Or, just go to any internet calculating speed sites and there in you can measure your actual internet speed, but again that would largely depend upon the distance of your measuring server. remember, the closer the server, the better and more accurate results would be.

Hi Vikas ! This is a point I needed clarification on. ISPs often talk about speeds of 256 kbps, 1 Mbps etc. Often when we are surfing the web, we encounter much slower speeds, even 10% of the claimed speeds. Is it another case of the consumer being taken for a ride or there are technically different speeds like the connecting speed, the downloading speed or the browser speed ? Would appreciate some clarifications in this regard . Thanks in advance...
