Argh! Just got it, getting average 600-700kbit, on various broadband tests, nowhere near 2000kbit!
Mind you it is peak hour - 6-11pm. I'll perform more tests at various times of day. I don't mind 6-700kbit at peak hours. But off-peak I expect neat 2mbit speeds. :/
Downloads are around 110kbs, which is almost 1mbit - this sucks.Anyone have any similar probs/advice?

Seems to be better off hours - any other people with similair connections have slow access off-peak?

Did you truly expect to get 'full download capacity' on a cheap line with a 50:1 contention ratio at peak hour from a likely busy server?
Also, I hope you appreciate the [fairly significant] differences between MegaBIT and MegaBYTE.
Perhaps today should be a day for a game of stickball in the park?

Umm yeah I know what a kilobyte and a kilobit is.
I didn't know what to expect as my old 512k connection was always getting neat 512 speeds.. 50:1.
I'm happy now anyway - most things hit around 200kb/s.
