I've had a good 10mb connection for the last 3 years but something strange has happened.
I went to speedtest.net, that tells me my max download is 5500Kb/s, I tried Dan ellwells speed test and that also states that I'm only getting around 5500kb/s.
I phoned technical and the 1st person in India told me it was spyware, although I knew this not to be the case he insisted it was.
Phoned Technical again this morning (still seem to be getting 5500Kb/s on the speed tests), he told me to try downloading two files at the same time from gamefiles.blueyonder.co.uk and sure enough when you add the rates together I'm getting my 10MB/s Download, what an earth is going on?
