what does 175kb/second equate to
As title, what does 175kb/second equate to in terms of megs worth of connection speed. I should be around 8meg but it feels more like 1meg!
Thanks

How far are you from the exchange, attenuation, noise numbers, etc.? What is your download source?
I'm on PlusNet, about 4-5km from the exchange and can only get a 3 meg connection and I've seen around 300KB/s download.
There could be a number of factors involved in your download speed so you need to give more info.
Assuming you are on ADSL of course and not on cable or radio/satellite.

What are you using to get that figure?
Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test is fairly accurate up to about 7 meg.
This is my most recent after switching back to 4meg:
This is when I was on 10:
I was on 10 for months and it never went above 8!
News tests showed it was s true ten tho, 1.18 Mb /sec.

To get a kilobit rating, simply times by 8: (175K) 175000*8 = 1400000 kb or 1.4 Meg (1.4 Mega bits per second)

After a couple of phone calls to BT India and them telling me to try everything my end ( i've been unplugging and turning off sockets all over the house) They finally turn around and tell me it must be a line fault from their end 
2 hours later i get this, not great but better!
So my question is, 1 why can't they do whatever they did in the first place and 2 why do you constantly have to keep an eye on your connection speed every month and have to make phone calls to get it to be sped up
