I am using broadband unlimited usage. Always connction get disconnected quite often, like for every 5 minutes and does not come on for the next 10 minutes. I am fed up giving complaint to authority and they are not serious in attending the problem. The speed promised by them is 256 kbps, but it comes only less than 15 kbps. Was this information helpful? | 
The download speed varies with site. For example, when we download anything from nasa.gov site(or sites like download.cnet.com), we can reach download speed upto 200kbps. From sites like megaupload, without a premium account, we will get speeds of only 10 or 20kbps. If you are getting slow download speeds from all sites, then there must be a problem with your connection. Use the software called Internet Download Manager to increase download speeds.
