Question how many customers do you have that are running in 2Mbit or 1Mbit mode ? Unless there been some serious changes in the latest firmwares and in the new hardware have 3-4 people download a combined 500kbps should be no problem. But from your explanation it sounds like there is another problem somewhere. What are the signal levels of your clients ? what speeds are they associated at ? If you have ONE active client assoicated at 1Mbit speeds then your entire cell is running in 1Mbit mode so figure around 300-500kbit throughput. How do you determine they are sending 500Kbit ? How many packages are they transferring ? What type of traffic ? do you allow client to client communication ? You leave out a lot for us to properly figure out why your cell is running so slow.
