Your speed test shows that you're getting 20Mb down. What are you downloading and from where/whom?

Re: upgraded to 20 mb only getting 1.5-2mb!

I'm downloading from: http://www.mydigitallife.info/downlo...ownload-links/ at ~2 MB/sec now. Is it just the film from rapidshare that's slow?

Try using JDast to test - http://www.gmwsoftware.co.uk/

Are you using a paid for Rapidshare account or free?

Nothing wrong with your connection then. Rapidshare would seem to be having a bad day at the office.

Pretty much all free hosts are always having a bad day by those standards.

I've never seen a free host go above 15Mbps on any connection.
