Well i've spoken to support who were useless. They asked me to run Robin Walkers test, the first time I did it, it showed I was running at 1mb speeds (I'm on 2mb broadband), as I explained to him, yesterday everything was fine. He made me reboot into safe mode with networking to run the same test, this time it showed 2mb service, but as I tried to explain, sometimes it is showing 1mb speeds, sometimes its showing 2mb speeds no matter if im in Safe mode or not. I even told him its doing the same on my Mac machine and that its not the computer!
