Re: 20mb problem, please help? :)

Hey guys
Before anyone says "it's peak time" i know that lol but the connection has been pretty sucky all day :/ Anyone else having trouble in Bristol?

my speedtest result
totally sucky lol, even checking speedtest on here gives me:
Tue, 18 Mar 2008 19:52:30 GMT

Test 1: 1024K took 2297 ms = 445.8 KB/sec, approx 3673 Kbps, 3.59 Mbps
Test 2: 1024K took 2094 ms = 489 KB/sec, approx 4029 Kbps, 3.93 Mbps
Test 3: 1024K took 2359 ms = 434.1 KB/sec, approx 3577 Kbps, 3.49 Mbps
Test 4: 2048K took 4516 ms = 453.5 KB/sec, approx 3737 Kbps, 3.65 Mbps

I always seem to get on average 13mb's worth of line the highest i seen was once i got 18mb's worth very late at night and i check alot during night times too... i upgraded from 2mb > 20mb on thursday and feeling kinda stupid doing so.. when i'm only getting close to a 10mb line rather than 20mb...
Could i downgrade to 10mb before 30 days since last thursday when i upgraded? because i can change the contract so to speak untill then right? i really don't want to downgrade but the speeds never getting to what i 'should' get really stinks, was lookin' forward to this new line too!
If anyone wants info incase it could be a fault my end.. i'm using the Motorola Surfboard 4200i, my signal levels are as follows...
Frequency 339000000 Hz Locked
Signal to Noise Ratio 38 dB
Power Level 8 dBmV
The Downstream Power Level reading is a snapshot taken at the time this page was requested. Please Reload/Refresh this Page for a new reading

Upstream Value
Channel ID 4
Frequency 29200000 Hz Ranged
Power Level 32 dBmV
Currently networked to my pc, girlfriends laptop and our ps3.. although none of them are on during my speedtest, using a Belkin Router (F5D7230-4 6000) all connections are wired not wireless and i dont have wireless enabled.
I realize i maybe capped at the moment but like i said its kinda been like it throughout the day and i always average 13megs worth
So anyway what do you guys think? change some of my settings? change modem? router? or give up and downgrade to 10meg?
Also for some reason i have another network 1394 connection in my Network Connections which i cant get rid of, says its in-use 400mbps 0 packets sent or recieved.. in the properties of it all the settings are turnt off could this be related aswell?
Thanks for readin..
