Hi all, new here but i require some assistance with a quick question. For a good month now my broadband speeds have been awful, im currently on 20Meg and lately i seem to be lucky to even hit 10, Just done a test from this forum and heres the results

Wed, 14 May 2008 12:31:56 UTC

Test 1: 1024K took 1500 ms = 682.7 KB/sec, approx 5625 Kbps, 5.49 Mbps
Test 2: 1024K took 1610 ms = 636 KB/sec, approx 5241 Kbps, 5.12 Mbps
Test 3: 1024K took 1359 ms = 753.5 KB/sec, approx 6209 Kbps, 6.06 Mbps
Test 4: 2048K took 2656 ms = 771.1 KB/sec, approx 6354 Kbps, 6.21 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 5857 Kbps, 5.72 Mbps

Now when i first signed up to the 20Meg service in November last year i was told it would fluctuate but rarely go below 15Meg, now its sat at nearly 6.

Any idea's what could be causing it to be so slow?, I hardly download stuff, just the odd demo / Game or trailers from PSN / XB Live
