Re: Still on half the download speed
I will try removing AVG.... is there any antivirus software out there that does not slow down the PC.

Tried:
Trend
Avast
AVG

Might try Karpasky as it is free Barclays.

Re: Still on half the download speed
I use kaspersky, and confirm it does not exhibit any "slowdown" for me on 30mb. I pay for 30 and (unless I hit stm or theres a fault), I get an average of 33mb.

However, Kaspersky does do funky things with speedtests. so I have to "Pause Protection" when speedtesting at speedtest.net.

I usually test my speed with 3 simultaenous downloads anyway.

Puzzled - 1GB downloaded in 5 mins is around 3.33MB/s or 26.66Mb/s i.e around the 27Mb/s that you originally reported.

Try JDast as per post here for a better, multifile, test but I suspect (as per Ben's advice in post 2) that your ethernet card driver is to blame.

It is because your numbers dont tally up dude. If it took you 5 mins to download 1gb then that equates to 3.3MB/sec download speed which is 27mbits
