@ncpat

Do you know the difference between "Mbps" and "MBps"? What your network is advertising (deceptively) is "Mbps"

b stands for bit and B stands for byte. In the context of data rate units, one byte refers to 8 bits. For example, when a 1 Mbps connection is advertised, it usually means that the maximum achievable download bandwidth is 1 megabit/s (million bits per second), which is actually 0.125 MB/s (megabyte per second), or about 0.1192 MiB/s (megabyte per second).

Doubt me? Do the maths from the areas you highlighted yourself: (1.36 * 1024) / 8 = 174.08KB/s approximately the value correctly displayed by your download manager.

And this value is "ok", but not worth the scream!!!

is there any network in nigeria offering MBps? if so plesae post a screen, i`m only happy b`cos i don`t believe airtel will give a state as Gombe HSDPA and like i said, they have downgraded it back to EDGE b`cos i know they will not like state like Gombe to enjoy what Lagos,Abuja,PH and the big states are enjoying, i just hope they return the service back cos is ok to me if i can download 200mb of files under 10-15 minutes, thanks

@nCPAT, which download accelerator are you using? Is it IDM? If it is where can I get a completely free version, not a 30day trial version) just in case you know.
