What speed ...

[Swazi]

Hi

What speed in kilo bytes do you guys using ADSL 512 get ? When the going is good of course.

52 to 54 KB/s normally.

How about ADSL 384 ? What speeds can one reach on a good day ?

Theoretically youre supposed to get about 38 KB/s, but i sometimes get more.

It's actually easy to work out. To convert from bit > byte you divide by 8 (since there's 8 bits in a byte). So if you have a 384kbps connection you'd be able to get a maximum of 384 / 8 = 48KB/s, however, it's best to take protocol overhead into consideration. A good rule of thumb to go by is to use 90% of the theoretical maximum speed. So in this case 48 x 0.9 = 43.2KB/s.

So on a good day you'd get between 43 and 48KB/s on a 384kbps connection, but it would be more towards the 43KB/s side of things.

Tx TMoose - always wondered - never asked.

That's brilliant TMoose, that is the speed I generally get with my 384 line
