What are my max download/upload speeds if I have this plan?

Downstream: 384Kbps
Upstream: 128Kbps


Right now I get the max download speed of 40KBPS

ALSO, give me tips on how to increase speeds.

384kb/sec/8 = 48kB/sec
128kb/sec/8 = 16kB/sec

I don't get it. My cousin has the same plan but he gets 100KBPS downloads...

There are several factors that affect download speed. A lot of these tweaks can be performed in the Registry Editor via the guide available from http://www.speedguide.net. Also, the contention ratio may affect the speed throughoutput, your line's performance etc..

The thing is, why does my cousin have the same plan but get rates of 100KBPS when the plan says MAX 384KBPS downstream.?
