On Windows 8 it doesn't show a % of anything and it does not make any reference to link speed. It shows only a numerical figure for throughput, either in Mbps or Kbps or Gbps, etc.

Windows 8 Task Manager and specifically the Networking Tab.

This shows a Mbps figure for throughput and I'm trying to relate this to the 152 Virginmedia tier.

So, if you maxed out a 152 tier, what figure should show in Windows, providing the hardware can handle it of course.

Would it be around 20Mbps or so .. ??

Thanks.
The 152 tier is meant to be 152Mbps so Windows should show 152Mbps. 20Mbps would be the 20Mbps tier, which no longer exists.

Technically the 152Mbps tier is provisioned at around 165Mbps IIRC so you may get up to that. If you only get 20Mbps on the 152Mbps tier you have a serious connection problem.
