1st 512K took 10 ms = 51200 KB/sec, approx 421888 Kbps, 412 Mbps
2nd 512K took 10 ms = 51200 KB/sec, approx 421888 Kbps, 412 Mbps
3rd 512K took 10 ms = 51200 KB/sec, approx 421888 Kbps, 412 Mbps
4th 512K took 0 ms = Infinity KB/sec, approx Infinity Kbps, Infinity Mbps
If that's your speed test you need to clear your temp files. Sky BB is ADSL and will depend on a lot of things, any one of which can seriously impact performance. Have you tried putting your info in here: http://www.samknows.com/broadband/checker2.php
But as Paul says above, ADSL depends on different things & can be quite variable (line length is a big factor, as is "noise" [ e.g. from poor extension wiring etc.]).
Like we have already said it will depend on a number of things including:
distance from exchange
quality of equipment in exchange
quality of line out of exchange to DP
quality of line from DP to your house
quality of line in house
quality of equipment on line
to name but a few.
