What does this mean?

Just done another speed test as it is slow but in Laymans terms how fast is
it. Am I getting 1 meg, 2 meg, what?


Date 09/01/07 23:53:45
Speed Down 235.84 Kbps ( 0.2 Mbps )
Speed Up 161.13 Kbps ( 0.2 Mbps


----------------------------------------------------------

And on the Tiscali site
243.40kbps
which means you can download at 30.43 KB/sec. from our servers.
----------------------------------------------------------
Is it poss for someone to translate this for me so i can call BT without
getting fobbed off?

MANY thanks

Why would you call BT ? You're with Tiscali. BT's not interested in a Tiscali
prblem.

Have you been disconnecting your router each day?
When I went maxed I was asked to reboot router once a day for 10 days

Yes I can read it but that doesn't mean I understand it does it? I can read
nuclear physics but I don't understand that either. I am with BT

Try a decent speed test site like
http://www.numion.com/YourSpeed3/index.html
and report the results here (or post the URL)
