    I get 900 Kb/s in the download at the start but then it falls to about 120Kb/s (on a resonobly fast server)

    Oh 5Mbits, that's not a lot, We thought it goes 5MBytes per second...
    Well I am not sure its bits or bytes cause never cared to look at it
    When I checked now on my office computer it was showing 200KB/s
    and by standard notations i guess this is KiloBytes
    Will have to check on my home computer
    As I was not sure whether it is bits or bytes and didnt wanted to exagrate so I prefered writing Mb rather than MB
    Anyways whatever it is I guess its a good speed

    Ok, so you have 5Mbits (That's pretty fast anyways)
    As you know 8bits = 1Byte
    Internet speed is marked with Mbits. 5Mbits / 8 = 0,625MBytes/s = 640Kbytes/s

    I also thought the same
    But when I checked now on my office computer while downloading an file using IE
    it showed 200KB/s
    So i guess download speeds are marked in Bytes/s rather than Bits/s

    Yes, But I said Internet speed (As Advertised by ISPs), ofcourse Download speed (marked in KB/s) is more useful.

    You shod see how crapy ADSL is provided by Arnes.It can be worse than dialup.So its cheap.

    The thing downloads 10kB/s!!! somtines even down to 2 kB/s.
    Il give you shocking experience.

    That depends on where you are getting your download from, if the server can only give 2K/sec you will only download at that speed...

    Try downloading something large on bittorrent (something good with a lot of seeds), that's a true test for internet speed...
    700Kb/sec is nothing special
