will there by change in speed in wifi connected to the pc, and in the pc
jraju:
Hi,
One more thing. we are having a fair average speed up to a certain limit and then set to normal speed. UP to one gb, you get 2mbbs speed and then 512 kb speed. Then you are alerted to get extra speed by accepting their alert, the cost of which will come in the next bill.
My point of query is because, in the first week of browsing, when i experienced the normal speed , where as it should be the higher to the eligibility of connection.
i checked the speed it was around 1.30 to 1.6 at that time. But when downloaded the program, malware bytes, it was only around 52 to 60 kb per seconds, which equals normal speed.
So, i have the doubt of broadband width with wired and wireless connection.
Boggins, is it that this broadband width will be spread across the use of device , if some device access this brandwidth. if suppose, i use pc, wired with , laptop and android mobile with wireless thro the same modem, would the speed i mentioned above would be apportioned automatically between these devices.
Is it also the fact, if you are downloading the two applications at the same time, the speed of brandwidth will get apportioned.
Samson, you are not hijacking the thread, you are adding points that everybody should know. Boggins, i have to go through your post about router link to try for any change , thanks
Boggin:
The bandwidth doesn't really get apportioned say when one device is streaming video, that will impact upon another or other devices and if they are all involved in heavy downloads/uploads, that can max out the bandwidth to the point of disconnection for one or more devices.
There is a thing called Quality of Service (QoS) which is set within the router where you can set a given % of the bandwidth to each device, but as you are on a low package anyway, for each device to be reasonably functional, common sense will need to prevail with the usage of the devices.
To determine what your max speed is, do a speed test with just one device switched on, but some ISPs can throttle the bandwidth to their customers at peak times so that each has some form of connection.
If you aren't getting what you are paying for then you should take that up with your ISP, but it could just as easily be because of a bad connection somewhere between you and the exchange which will produce a line fault that your ISP can investigate.

hi, thanks for the best possible explanation. so it is possible that the downloading site could throttle the download speed of their program. excellent , i have seen that qos somewhere, but could not remember. thanks .moreover, when i raised the query , i was only using the laptop, and the speed of the bandwidth shown as normal
Boggin:
No, it's the ISP who could be throttling the bandwidth - however, at peak times your speed could be reduced because of an increase in users.
This is called Contention - this article explains this - http://www.choose.net/media/guide/features/broadband-speeds-explained.html
You could check this by doing downloads at different times of the day as I doubt your ISP would admit to throttling.
