Low file transfer rate

[Chetan1991]

I have 56Kbps Modem connection.But whenever I connect to the net,message appeares"aaa"(name of ISP)"is now connected at 52Kbps"
While downloading a file transfer rate is initiaLLY 20Kbps and gradually drops to about 3Kbps.I'm frustated .Why this happens?What is the solution??

56kBps is the max conn speed of ur modem.... it doesnt mean that u ll get that speed always... btw wich ISP u using... call ur CC..

 

[infra_red_dude]

its normal. depending on ur line conditions the speeds may vary. if u can connect to ur isp @ 52kbps. its quite good. very well for that matter. the sustained speed is a bit low. ideally u should get about 7-8kBps (56kbps/8bits) practically atleast 5kBps. check for line disturabances.

U can hv ur speed checked by the following sites:-
*reviews.cnet.com/7004-7254_7-0.html
*www.2wire.com/bandwidth/initialmeter.php
*us.mcafee.com/root/speedometer/default.asp

well chetan u can tweak ur modem and connection settings by using software like internet booster just google for it

 

[Tech Geek]

Internet Boosters are useless
They don't boost the speed at all

 

[Pathik]

yup they never worked for me too...

 

[Chetan1991]

Actually yes! I also had Turbo Internet Booster which was nearly useless.
