It seems I'm always routed through a Poplar Proxy, it just varies which one of the farm I get, here are some results.

Easynews - Trace on their site shows that I'm coming from various Poplar Proxies, *all* of them are only reaching a max of 150k, switching to swansea or Colchester Proxies reach 376k *always*

Fileplanet - max of 150k normally, Swansea and Colchester give 350k.

This pattern is repeated on almost all non UK sites I visit, for some reason UK sites seem to almost always give full speed regardless of the proxy used, but USA sites are somehow capped using the default Poplar Proxies.

cheers
