Is that the same as you get your on your PC as well? That's normal speed for a "2mbps connection".
have u config ur router before??? bcoz m havin neatgear router m gettin the same speed while surfing as of pc but sumtimes it slow a bit.. as iphone is jst a mobile
try changing the channel in the config page of your wifi router....there might be some interference in the current chnnel...
when you tested, were you very near to the router...were you getting best possible signal ?

@hacker: what program is displaying 246 "kbps" maybe its just a typo in one of the free tester apps and it really is kBps? try another app?
note that you should try multiple tester apps, since some apps get slow results from their servers.

I am using iphonenetworktest.com for testing and its in kbps only
even the youtube video takes alot of time to load which shd not be the case with a 2mbps connection.

ok then try the "change channel" suggestion above... go to your wifi router's config webpages and select a different channel (ghz number) and reboot it...
Update
I tried all the available channels and tried b mode g mode and combined mode still I am getting 233kbps only.Any other iphone user faced such problems

the tester apps showed me upto 4 mbps in a manchester UK hotel's wifi on my ipod touch 2g so its not a hardware/software limitation 
I connected my pc via wifi and I am getting 2mbps speed so wats stopping iphone from getting the full speed.
try another bandwidth tester, download a couple of the free ones from the app store, dont rely on just one site and youtube
Also, just for testing purpose, try disabling firewall settings on your router and see if that makes a difference.
