I believe the burst in IE or firefox is because as soon as you do "save as" it starts downloading right away. Once you've selected the filename and pressed save it continues downloading from where it has reached, and that skews the KB per second reading - this levels out after a while.

We got our 10Mb last night at 1am. This morning it was doing 9000Kbps on the adslguide speedtest, but since then it's gone down to as low as 1.5Mb and peaking at about 3Mb (I tried lots of times). Hope it's a hiccup!
