1.As for how much your receiving and sending:
Go to Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Delete) >Click on Network Tab > Click View on Menu Bar > Select Columns > make sure Bytes Sent (uploaded) and Bytes Received (downloaded) are checked and click on OK
When you say 2 MB are you saying 2 Megabits or 2 Megabytes
8 bits = 1 byte
16 Megabits = 2 Megabytes
As for downloading at only 250kb that may be because of whom (the website) your downloading from.
2.the windows task manager thing doesnt help as the sent and recieved column just rises constantly when i download something.
http://packages. sky.com/surf/max.aspx _ this is a link to the site of my service provider. i dont know what you mean by which byte/bite/MB. the MB i mean is when ordering broadband you are offered 4MB from a company and then 8MB for a bit more money and then 10MB for a higher price etc.
by recieveing, i mean the speed of broadband i am receiving from my broadband exchange (the closer you live to the exchange the higher your speed). I was told i could recieve 3.5 MB but another company (aol) told me that (when i was cancelling) the most anyone can offer me is 2MB so i want to know my speed myself. i (ovbiously) went with the sky (3.5MB) package but i dont know how to determine whether i have 2Mb or 3.5MB available to me.
also how to improve my speed would be nice. i am told the speed can also depend on the wiring in the house so i think it would be better to go wireless to make sure that isnt a problem.
