Upstream and Downstream (Line Rate)

[unknownable123]

The internet package I was subscribing has an upload speed up to 384 Kbps and a download speed up to 1 Mbps. Now, I am subscribing the package which has an upload speed up to 512 Kbps and a download speed up to 4 Mbps. Before upgrading the internet package, I have checked my router info and found "Line Rate - Upstream (Kbps): 508" and "Line Rate - Downstream (Kbps): 2047" and they remain unchanged after upgrading. I asked the agent what it means but she didn't know. She said I will get the new speed from April. But now I find my download speed has been increased to almost 2 Mbps. Does the "Line Rate - Downstream (Kbps): 2047" mean the download speed the router can offer to me? If not, what does it mean exactly?

You might want to know that 2048kbits is 2mbits. And the downstream refers to the bandwidth for receiving information from the internet.

So you mean I can only get 2 Mbps of download speed instead of 4 Mbps with the router?
