I have a 256 kbps (kilobits) connection.
Netmeter, a bandwidth monitoring software (the best, I believe), reports a steady 31 KBps (kilobytes) when downloading anything.
Now for the curious part. Within the downloading application itself - be it Opera or utorrent - the speed is 28 KBps. Spiking rarely to 31 KBPs, but remaining steady at 28.
Has anyone else faced this issue?
I would believe some form of bandwidth reserving is taking place,which makes QOS the suspect. After going through different sources, I did try disabling it as well as reducing the reserved proportion to 0%. But the status quo remains.
Are there any other bright ideas?
