it will stick like that until Midnight ish when load calms down.

To me this seems like a poor service (20Mb) should I resort to the newsgroups and report it?

Be aware that speedtest.net is not known for its reliability. Some servers are better than others. The tests are Java based, so results may have more to do with the speed or your PC / laptop than your internet speed. You can get a better indication of speed by downloading muliple large files from a games site such as Virgin's Games Demos. Pick 3 or 4 files over 500 mb. Download them all at the same time. Add up the total download speed. Only do this when your PC processor or internet connection are not busy.

Virgin also offer speed test and improvement info here.

My favourite Java based test is here.

I find it the most reliable of all.
