VM business doesn't even have a 50mb service yet. Most common cause is buffering (not caching!) caused by AV software (i.e. Kaspersky)

We are getting between 45 and 50, depending on which laptop is being used. Upload is about 1.40ish - still waiting for the upgrade. :(

But it's awesome, browsing is noticeably faster, especially in Opera where the pages load instantly. I am really happy with the upgrade and hopefully I will continue to be!

I have just spent a couple of days without my trial speed of 200/16 Mb. I am temporarily back on 50/1.6Mb. I haven't experienced buffering when streaming HD from online servers since the 200mb trial started. Today my PC stuttered through a blue ray version of Iron Man 1, streamed from my Livedrive server by ftp. The same film runs smoothly from a hard drive.

I suspect it is the limited upstream bandwidth that is the problem. 50Mb down should be plenty enough, but you need a decent upstream to allow your system to chatter smartly with the streaming server. Games are also less responsive. Things are much worse when some else is using bandwidth in the house. Bring on the 10:1 upgrade quickly please.

And for London:

Considering I am on 50Mbs I don't see how this is possible, maybe it has something to do with them getting ready for 100Mbs?

But with AV disabled I get:

It's been said a hundred times AV causes buffering which causes the speed test to get confused and report spurious results.
