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?

I went though this, and yes in the end i had to get a friend to come round with their laptop, at which point i was told that both laptops must have spyware, unlucky for them he happens to be a MCP and its as a vanilla install of XP SP2 and the first time it was connected to the internet was when we connected it to the modem and did the speed test they asked us to do.
Try testing it when most people are at work, you tend to get the best speeds then.
