185 Kb/s download speed is slow.
B=byte; b= bit; 8b = 1B
185 KB/s = 1480Kb/s which is perfect for DSL.
185 Kb/s download is slow. If the speed check results are that slow own them come out and repair it. Get the speed you are paying for. Be sure they check the speed at your house; preferably at your modem.

It depends on the bag that you hold near your ISP. Find out what your nouns is rate at. The typical DSL nouns is 80% of what the ISP rates it at.
The speed does come across pretty slow though. (Assuming you are conversation nearly 185 kilobits per second, not 185 kilobytes per second. There is a difference.)
