Virgin/NTL and this thread says that speedests are not a true reflection of performance saying the best test is to download a couple of game files.
Ive done exactly that and find that with a couple of game files downloading my speed is 110 KBps which is less than 1MB on my 2MB connection which is how it feels to me.
The above speedtest might come out better sometimes but is pointless as it takes about 15 seconds before it runs and recently it doesnt run at all but the arrow says it is with endless lag spikes and pings look very muck like an overloaded network.
Instead of the needle showing a steady speed it is like a rev counter up and down then peaking at the end of the test at the maximum speed in other words useless.
