Test 1: 1024K took 3375 ms = 303.4 KB/sec, approx 2500 Kbps, 2.44 Mbps
Test 2: 1024K took 3225 ms = 317.5 KB/sec, approx 2616 Kbps, 2.55 Mbps
Test 3: 1024K took 3224 ms = 317.6 KB/sec, approx 2617 Kbps, 2.56 Mbps
Test 4: 2048K took 11947 ms = 171.4 KB/sec, approx 1412 Kbps, 1.38 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 2286 Kbps, 2.23 Mbps

Dan Elwell's
gives: 4225Kb/s

However a 60MB multi-thread download from VM Newsgroups came down at a fairly consistent 10Mb/s.

All completed within the last 10 mins.

So it proves the 10Mb connection can and is doing it!
yea most speed test site are not accurate but most say to try downloading 2 files off gamefiles.virginmedia.com then add the two speeds togethere then times by 8 then u got ur download rate
