PPPoE is short for Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet. This means that every piece of information destined for your machine is tagged coded and forwarded on a point to point basis thereby making the delivery accurate, precise and secure.

PPPoE is now the protocol of choice in systems such as Windows Vista, windows 7. It also allows a wide variety of access devices to connect such as smart phones, game consoles, etc.

As per computer terms, 8 bits equal to a byte. Data transfer is measured in bits and Data storage is measured in bytes.

This means that your line thickness is always measured in bits but the amount of space a downloaded file occupies will be displayed in bytes. The real reading of a 40 KB line is therefore 480 Kbps.

The 100 Mbps you see in the task bar is the handshake speed between your machine and our server. At our server level, we then throttle the bandwidth as per the package purchased by you from 512 Kbps to 4 Mbps or more.

If you purchase a larger package more will be allowed over from us to you

More than the number of users online, it is the kind of applications that they use while online that influences the speed. So your speed will not be negatively affected just because you have many broadband users online.

But it will marginally decrease if all of them at the same time indulge in data intensive activities online.
