Re: whats happened to my 10mb?

Always take results from speed test sites with a pinch of salt, I saw countless people complain about low speeds one day, problem was found, the test server was hammered and couldn't supply the full bandwidth for the tests, nothing wrong with peoples connections on that occasion. The best test is a download from a source server you know can supply the speed, such as a Usenet server.
HEX this is the problem, I can say download 2 files at the same time and will get a total download speed of 10MB/s, but I've tried 2 speedtests now and both are showing me at 5500KB/s, surely two different speedtests won't use the same download location? Although I'm not saying your wrong

www.speedtest.net thats the easiest to use and also Dan elwells BB speed test (google search for that one )
