[iqbalkhan]

Hi

I rent a internet line from an ISP. they tell me they give my ornization dedicated 256 MB. and i am doubt that they does give us 256 line.

it is connected my router.

so anyone help me how i know or calculate that ISP give me 256 KB bandwidth line, not less then that ??.

thanks

Hi,

One way to see this is to use an application like 'iperf'. Send a UDP stream at 256k and see that you receive it at the other end.

Is it 256 MB or 256 KB , you say it is both in your note . Most org's don't have a 256 meg line into the internet but maybe some do if they have a lot of money to spend every month . :-)

HI

Thanks to all share with me.

At first i am clear to all that my line is 256kbs which proved by ISP.

I am not talking about internet spped , you provide link is nice which give online speed test.

but i am worried that isp give me acccurate 256kbs line or not. many time times they say we give you 256kbs line but thet actual give 196 kbs line. so how I can measure that they realy give me dedicated 256 kbs line. this line is connecte dmy router.

I think, all are expert guy clear of my view.

Install any monitoring tool and see the utilization pattern when you pump data.
