The downloads I mentioned are kb/s
To answer your second question(s): Like I said the issues are the same whether wireless or wired, Mac or Windows. The router and modem have been replaced and no network problems are reported in any of the tests I've tried, or in the system logs of the individual systems.
I've checked various download sources at various times. On Sunday morning for example, the Virginmedia games site had the following download speeds:
D3Demo.exe running at 173kb/s
CallofDutyDemo.zip 194kb/s
Third download ran at 194kb/s
All remained constant. When I checked this while troubleshooting with Virgin support the speeds were over 1Mb/s, that's what I should be getting according to them.
Microsoft Technet was running at 50kb/s
Since there seems to be such a disagreement about the reliability of various tests and methods, is there somewhere, someone or something that can give an accurate connectivity reading?
