Hi all, I've been having some low download speed for the past few days. My average speed test indicates 197.6 KB/sec on a 2mb line.

I have downloaded quite a lot recently, have I been capped or somthing? (how would I know?) or should I phone up and enquire about any probs?

Thanks

I think this may have been due to some unnoticed spyware. I have removed it and re-run the test.

From ADSL guide
Downstream
1465 Kbps (183.1 KB/sec)
