thats 512k up so it is the 10 meg service. Online speed tests are ALL innacurate. Use performance monitor that comes with windows to monitor network traffic, it never lies.

(start, run - perfmon)
delete the counters that are allready setup in the bottom window and add one for your ethernet adaptor\bytes total/sec. On the properties of this click "data" and set the scale to 0.001. now click on graph tab and set max value to about 130 for 1 meg (1000kb/8=125kbs) or 260 for 2 meg or 1300 for 10 meg. ie. 10000kb(10 meg) /8 = 1250kbs. now d/l some big files and watch it, it will give a true reading.
I tested on my m8`s 10 meg and we d/l something from ibm (400meg odd) and we got 1250kbs ll the way ie. 10meg exactly.

You will very rarely get an accurate speed test from an online test.
