To be honest I think the best method of getting a truthful result on the download speed is to download the blueyonder game files, downloading 2 different files at the same time is preferred then just double the transfer speed and that total will be the current download speed.

As for the browsers, have noticed that when I use I.E6 with no proxy I get my normal M package speed, when using Firefox with no proxy I get slightly less speed.

Internet speed is the subject for debate on Sky news just now, I was slightly confused as to why it wasn't reported that using a proxy can often effect the speeds, and I can vouch for that after doing various tests with or without proxy.
