Why The Download Speed Is Vary From The Package

Some people may find that the download speed appearing in the Download engine is varying from the package they subscribed. For an example, the speed appears in the download engine is 60KBps but the package taken is 384Kbps, impossible the broadband service can be slow down few times of the original speed.

Actually it is not. Please read carefully one appear as KBps (Kilo bytes per second) and another 1 appear as Kbps (Kilo bits per second). For the network providers they use to advertise Kbps, therefore it confusing to those who are not familiar with IT.

To prove that you really getting the promise services, you can do this check

1 Byte = 8 bit
1 KB = 1024 Byte

Calculation For 384Kbps
1. (384*1000)/8 = 48000 Byte
2. 48000/1024 = 46.9 KB

Meaning that 384Kbps package you actually getting 46.9 KBps download speed.
