Speed changes ...

I am on a 192Kbps connection.

Usually I download at 32-34KB/s from most servers - both local and international and my router reports 320Kpbs line speed (192kpbs upstream). This seems to be a little high for a 192Kbps connection, but I saw many people report the same ...

Here's the interesting bit: downloads can run for the whole day with constant speed, but often (not always) when the router reconnects after the forced disconnect the speed changes to 19KB/s max! To fix this, I have to disconnect, wait 2-3 minutes and usually the line speed is back to "normal" 32KB/s ...

I think this is pretty nice non-http international throughput.

These people who say that their speeds are "broken" and "fixed", I hardly think that's the case. Any reason as to why the majority are getting faster speeds on their respective packages? (apart from 512k users)

ADSL 384K

Dismal isn't it? I'm with Axxess - could it be ISP-related?

I saw great line speeds for the first time last night since upgrading from DSL 192. But it didn't last.
