What method are you using to determine your download speed? Beware Flash / Java-based speed tests, especially if your machine is underpowered processor-wise.

My main PC is wired in and has a decent quad core. I always get the full speed (104.5Mb) when the network isn't ridden with problems! My other PC, also wired in, having an old dual core processor, never gives me more than 75Mb. My VM Freedom net book, also wired in, never gives me more than 40Mb.

If in doubt use a file download method of determining speed. Your can download 4 or 5 big multiple files simultaneously from here. http://gamefiles.virginmedia.com/blueyondergames/ Just add up the combined speeds when they start to max out. If you get a combined 12MB you are pretty well on 100Mb.

Sorry, if you knew all this stuff already.
