What exactly are you complaining about here, from the post there, you are getting on around the correct speeds for a 4MB line.

If you are suffering high-pings, try the following:

Open a command prompt.
Type: ping http://www.bbc.co.uk
Post back with the average MS response times and any packet loss here.

Alot of high pings in on-line games are not just caused by your own connection, they can be cause by other players high pings, therefore the server compensates, and everyone see the slow down. Also, the server may not be located in the UK.

Thanks.

PS:

When testing at SpeedTest.net, do NOT use the Derby server, I have used that my self and the speeds I get from there are by far slower than the London server, which points to issues on the server rather than the connections itself.
