Take the 2-minute tour ×  i'm from Malaysia. I am subscribed to
2mbps pack from my country's ISP. But all i get is only 200kbps
when download files from the internet, when i test my speed on
speedtest.com , it shows me 1.7mbps.  I am pretty confused , ISP
should give users what they stated , yeah a 2mbps. But i only
recieved 200kbps and the speedtest shows 1.7mbps which makes me
confused even further.  So i started googling and found out that
it is related to something called VPN compression?  can anyone
explain to me how these things works? why am i getting much much
lower speed than i have subscribe to. (I am using a D-Link
DSL-2750 U modem)   share|improve this question Add links to
your speedtest and run the glasnost test on your connection –

sws.org/transparency/glasnost.php : select the HTTP transfer
option and run the test. Also, speedtest shows 1.7 mbps or kbps?
(4th line of your question says kbps). Additionally, is your
download speed 200k b ps, or 200k B ps?
