Re: What is acceptable ?
^^ Same - I also have 20meg and never get a correct reading from speedtest.net no-matter what time of day it is, or what day it is.
However, when downloading files, i usually do use gamefiles @ virginmedia.com FTP site, but download using a 3rd party program, Free Download Manager. (FDM)
To Test your speed, if you can. Use FDM and install on vista (works fine) download the same size of file on a monday morning (Between 9am and 12noon) and monday evening (between 4pm and 10pm) again repeat on the wednesday and friday. On saturday try 9am until 12pm morning and 4-7pm evening and again at around 11pm onwards saturday night.
Possible?
lol. i know it does sound mad, but it will give you an idea of when problems are occuring, run a tracert and ping before you run each of your tests and record the data in a log.
use DUmeter to monitor bandwidth
