i'm currently subscribed to PLDT mydsl (in the philippines). i got the one with dsl + phone bundle. the advertised speed is 384kbps, but it's whn i look at my router i see there in the interface that it's capped at 379kbps and i don't know why it's 8kbps lower than the advertised. anyway, when i got my connection up and running again(was a smartbro user before but changed coz whenever it rained or it became windy my connection would become intermittent at best and dc'd at worst) the first thing i did was to update avira and spybot s&d. i then did a full system scan.
i, then, went online and tried out my new connection. i was disappointed to see that the fastest i could get was around 200-220kbps. and so i did a bit of research and ended up in this forum.
i did a bit of reading and tweaking and voila i was able to increase my speed to around 240-250kbps, but still nowhere near the advertised speed of 384kbps. from what i've been reading i should be able to get around 70-90% of that speed.
here's my speed according to the site:
