Bandwidth is 256kbps to 2mbps but i cant get download speed more than 1.8mbps. previously download speed can reach upto 1.4mbps then i used trick by setting reserved bandwidth for microsoft windowsxp 0% from 20%.But i cant reach download speed upto 2mbps.

Very few people get exactly 2Mbps, most of us get 1.5-1.8Mbps.It depends on many conditions such as your line quality,distance from the exchange and other factors.

I guess what you are getting is quite ok....

You do get constant connection right.. I mean no dropping connections and such.

From this link:-

speakeasy.net/speedtest/

I believe the kolkatatelephones.com's broadband speedtest is just a copy of this site.
