If I use Robin Walkers speed test, I get anything from 2 to 10 meg within the same test. It seems too random.

I don't really know where to look to grab something I know would top me out at maximum speed just to see.

I'm in Manchester and notice others with the same modem and living close by are getting maximum speeds no problem.

Others have suggested that Robin Walker's speed test isn't reliable for 10meg because its sample size is too small. Head on over to www.adslguide.org/tools/speedtest.asp and give that a try.
