I was on 4mb and didn't even know i'd been upgraded until i realised how much slower it was and was browsing CF and it crossed my mind it could be traffic shaping so i checked the max speed...

So in short, you're right i should probably downgrade back to 4mb (if that's even possible now?) but it's not right that i shouold downgrade to get more speed.
I know you shouldnt have too, however 4Mb is no longer avaiable its either 2Mb,10Mb or 20Mb

Pia, unfortunately it's probably slow because of all the other people on 10Mbit meaning there's not enough of the bandwidth to go around.

If you can persuade all of them to also downgrade back to 4Mbit you might be ok but downgrading yourself won't achieve anything beyond saving you a few quid
