Well first things first.
256 KBPS = 256 Kilobits per sec
the download speeds are in KiloBytesperSecond.
As one of the answers says...
256/8=32 so ur speed is pretty much right.
Dataone has recently advertised that they have upped the speeds to 2MBPS and that is not entirely true.
I get download speeds of upto 250kbps only in the late nights and early mornings.I suggest you to go to this site to check your broadband speed.

anything in the range of 230-256kbps is a good speed.
P.S.:Btw i'm using a dataone connection too

Your speed is at maximum, 256/8=32. This is the maximum you can get. 29.3 is not bad comparatively.
If you want higher speed check with the ISP for more options.

try to reinstall the modem and check with dataone and also check your pc for adware or spyware
