I subscribed to 512 kbps cable internet service.?

Question

During a speedtest it shows 61 KBPS. Am I getting a right service I paid for, because I feel the connection is slower than it should be? DO you get buffering interruptions in youtube at this speed? Can you suggest a good speedtest site to check the speed?

Answer 1

256 kbps give you at the download 25.6 Kbs

512 kbps gives you 51.2 Kbs

if you download one file @ 22 K  for exapmle start dowloading another file and calculate both speed togther it may give you your full speed

cause downloading depends also on the server speed and server location

Answer 2

Try this link for a speed test.

512 kbps is not really very fast for cable internet service.

But you should still do better than 61 kbps. I mean, some dial-up connections can get almost 56 kbps.

Check with your Internet Service Provider to see if they offer any speed improvements on their website. Many ISPs do these days.

Answer 3

try to change your internet service provider and shift to MTNL it provide more speed then any other services..

and yes little buffering is required in youtube..

Answer 4

First understand this.

Kbps means Kilo bits per second

KBps / KBPS  means Kilo Bytes Per Second

512 Kbps = 512/8=64KBPS

slight fluctuations r must be allowed.

So basically u r getting the correct speed.

Answer 5

The speed can fluctuate especially if you just got the service. Let it sit for a week and then check. Also, no you shouldn't have any problem on youtube with 61kbps.

Answer 6

512/8 =64 and  u getting 61 and it fluctuates

so its coming fine

no issue
