Hi,
after fixing my 20 mb broadband after years of only having half of what I was expected I have no become obsessed with speeds.

I must of run about 200 speed tests, which all average around 18mbps. Or so on, but after download some game demos and software from different websites i noticed i have actually never seen the download speed (even on small files mp3 etc.) go to such blazing speeds as 15.1mbps, it will barely reach 1mbps if im lucky.

Is this a problem, cos it seems to me like im loosing out on about 80% of the actual broadband im paying for!?

Sorry if this is a silly question, just im interested to find out the workings.
