What kind of speed should I be getting out of a 768 dsl connection? Sorry had to ask it again.?

I usually get about a 90k a second dl for most websites, but I have an usually low upload speed of 16KB/s. I had a speed test and with a latency of about 58. I got an up of about 748 Down and 138 down.





oh and Im about 4 blocks from the hub.|||I just answered this for you about an hour ago. However, the 768Kbps you're referring to is MOST LIKELY the downstream only. Most providers offer a much faster downstream and a much slower upstream.





The ISP I used to work for offered a 768/128Kbps reduced rate DSL package. With this package, a customer could expect to see an average UPLOAD speed of 20KBps.





If you have a similar package, then your speed is fine.





And my previous answer from the last time you asked:


It will really, really vary from ISP to ISP (and with other factors), however:





If your ISP has provided you with 768Kb/sec DSL, this refers to the download speed, not the upload speed (unless they specified that refers to both streams).





Assuming your referring to a 768Kbps upload stream ... try this out: http://www.speedtest.net/





If however, you want to know how many KiloBytes (a KiloByte is 8 Kilobits) per second you'll take that 768 and divide by 8 (768Kbps = 96KBps). Additionally, you'll want to compensate for packet overhead (I usually calculate ~ 15%).





This means that when you are downloading a file (if the server is giving you full throttle) the fastest you could possibly download at is approximately 80KBps.





Hope that helps.|||Well a 768 connected should have speeds of about 768kbps down. Up a little less probably 512kbps. Remember kbps is different than kBps (most download program measure in kBps). A 768kbps connection should be 96kBps down (768/8=96).





So you are getting the speed you should be getting.
