Verizon DSL

Zinnie · 07-13-2006, 12:00 PM

Hi, I have the lower version of Verizon's DSL Connection, at 756 kbs. I'm just wondering what the normal download speed should be for that connection... My downloads usually start really high, like 200+ kbs, but then gradually slow down until it is in the 60-90 kbs range.. Should the download speed be consistent? or Does it normally jump around that much?

One thing to be careful of is the difference between Kbps (Kilo-Bits Per Second) and KBps (kilo-Bytes Per Second). There is a big difference. 1 KBps = 8 Kbps If your internet connection is 756 Kbps that will be the same as 94.5 KBps.

Ok, I see what you mean.. so does that mean my download speed should be around that 94.5KBps.

Yes 94.5 KBps or 756 Kbps is the maximum download speed that you would get.

if you have a westell 6100 or 327w or 2200 you can check the speed you´re getting into your modem by accessing the gui http://192.168.1.1
there at connection overview it will give you the speed you should have.
