The Data Center of China Internet has recently released a report indicating that most broadband users in China find their internet speed is far slower than the advertised maximum speed given by internet service providers. Internet service providers are not denying it. They have official speed ranges. We consulted one of the largest internet service providers, China Netcom's service line for 4 mega bytes bandwidth speed range. "The minimum downloading speed limit is 320 kilo bytes per second. Only when it goes below that speed, should we send a maintenance man to your home to fix it. The speed is considered to be normal anywhere above that." China Telecom has also publicized its 4 mega bytes bandwidth common seen speed range as being between 307 kilo bytes and 512 kilo bytes on its website. Xiang Ligang is chief executive officer of , an information site of telecommunication industry. He says the advertised maximum speed is just a theoretical one. "The advertised 4 mega bytes per second is hard to reach. There are many things that would slow it down, like internet servers, routers and switches, optical transceivers or cable modems."
