Well, that was errr, a waste of time !
After getting through to india, explaining the problem, she got me to go to
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/testmyspeed & download the 50mb file. When I told her I was getting a download speed of 67.5K/s, she told me this was fine for 10mbps. WHen I said err, no, this would be ok if I was on 1mbps, she wouldnt have it. I had to point out to her that it would be fine if that was my upload speed to which she went away, presumably looked it up & came back saying yes, you were right sir !
In the end she said their systems were down so she couldnt really test anything on my connection & to phone back tomorrow
