how long does it take to download a typical web page with 2Mb broadband?
475182
A typical web page can run from 50K and up..However, speaking from real world experience it doesn't take more than a few seconds with a 2MB connection..\nHere's a link that will allow you to test your current connection and even choose different download stream sizes.\nhttp://www.networktel.net/NTCportal/Visitor/Support/Visitor_Support_SpeedTest/\n\nGreg

try searching for webhosts that lets you pick the ammount of monthly bandwidth/disk space/connection speed/etc.\nGood Luck

this will take same time as u need to dowmload some thing.\n\nfor normal internet connection it takes 5 min for 1 MB\nso it will also take 5 min to up  load a file of 1 MB \n\nusually 2-3 picticures make 1 MB. So 1-2 min for each photo is normal \n\nif more then it as 5 min for one photo then it will because of ur slow PC Ram & processer

depends on your local Internet Service Provider(ISP), but at most it takes 10 second.

There isn't much you can do, aside from "caching" content but that won't help you at all on webpages that have not been viewed or have changed since the last time you viewed them.\n\nSince Windows XP, you can actually add a second modem to your computer and, provided that you have a second phone line and that your ISP allows it, simultaneously dial-up a second connection, thus do what we call "shotgunning" your connection or effectively doubling the transfer rates.

Modem is snail-speed (28kbps), DSL much much faster (up to 1GB transfer), T1/T3 the fastest of the lot (this is where you want to go.  Good luck.\n\nTake an example:\n\nyou want to download an mp3 song that is 4MB in size.  If you download from someone:\n\nwith a modem = > 1 hours\nwith DSL (broadband) = 2 - 3 minutes\nwith T1/T3 (eathernet) = less than a 1 minute !!\n\nSpeed will also depend on how YOU connected.  if you have a modem and download from DSL or T1/T3 it will still be slow obviously. But if you have broadband and choose to download from a broadband user it will be fast!!

Why don't you go out and buy a version of it? the firewall is there for your protection so it will prevent certain actions when downloading content. 1mb broadband is not enough you may have to upgrade to 4mb or more

check your internet download and upload speeds here\n\nDownload Speed\nhttp://www.pcpitstop.com/internet/Bandwidth.asp\n(Ex.  Mine is 5081Kb/sec)\n\nUpload Speed\nhttp://www.pcpitstop.com/internet/BandwidthUp.asp\n(Ex. Mine is 1295Kb/sec)\n\npost the results.  Contact your ISP and ask them if they are having problems and see if they can tell you what your DL and UL speeds SHOULD be.\n\nAlso, in response to funQT's post below, deleting your cookies is fine - but your temporary internet files, while they can and should be deleted every so often, actually speeds up your system.  Certain content on websites is downloaded directly to your PC for faster access when you revisit the page.  Instead of loading everything again from the internet, it loads directly from your hard drive - thus increasing the speed in which the page loads.  For pages that are uploaded frequently, you will want to delete this to get the latest version of the page, not the old version that was cached.\n\nCheck for spyware, as well.\n\nFirst of all, in response to notrix, not everybody has the "two computer" icons when connected to the internet through broadband.  I know I don't.  \n\nIf you click the links I posted above the websites will test your download and upload speeds.  You may want to try it a few times and get an average.  24Mb/sec is probably the internal transfer rate of your network card, not your actual external net speed.  If you are using newer DSL service (they've recently upgraded their speeds), you can expect to get anywhere from 256Kb/sec to 3Mb/sec download and 128Kb/sec to 1Mb/sec upload on average (just a ballpark, I didn't actually research the speeds) - this is also dependant on what type of service you have with the provider.  Usually they offer multiple options where you can pay more to get faster connections.  However, with DSL - the farther you are from the host, the slower your connection.  Whereas with cable, the distance is not a factor, but the number of people online that are in your specific node will affect speeds.

Connection speed depends on your internet service provider where else your download speed is based on the site from where you are downloading it from. For example, certain sites allows download speeds up to 128kbps and some allows a max speed of 16-31kbps. Though the site allows a 128kbps download speed, it's not neccessarily that you will be able to download at the speed. This is because the internet speed which is provided by your service provider is divided among all the applications which you are using to access the Internet. Get it??

I have 30 Mbit/sec FIOS, but I actually can get faster: http://img82.imageshack.us/my.php?image=nonwirelesstestmyspeedsdlsmall.jpg  The problem is that hardly any site will give me that kind of bandwidth.  I still only average 300-1000 KB/sec, when downloading files.  \n\nOh, and the answer to your question is that you're getting what you're paying for.  Pay a bit more, and you'll get ALOT more bandwidth.  For instance: http://www.fiberexperts.com/

Modem 56kbps = 5.6 kbps download rate\nDsl  128kbps =12.8 kbps download rate\nDsl  256kbps =25.6 kbps download rate\nDsl  512kbps =51.2 kbps download rate\ndsl 1024kbps =102.4kbps download rate\n\nTheres no possible way to overdrive these info\nif the object youre trying to download is slower than any rate there the web nature, many different causes, huge traffic something else your downloading,m streamng audio or a video

You can always watch the download speed when downloading a file or you can use some websites with a bandwidth tester like www.testmy.net

if your ( or their) line is too slow , burn it onto cd and send via post.otherwiese , broadband should do it in an hour or so.
