Go to ubuntu website and download the torrent of their latest release of ubuntu linux, and then post back your speeds. This WILL give you an accurate picture of what speed you are attaining.

Getting top end of 2.5mb/s in download manager but only 2.3mb/s in torrents.

That's more like it compared to the speed test.

Seems like you are hitting the correct max speed for a 20 meg mac.

To be sure, try this again at a quiet time, like midnight-ish and see what happens then.

Speed tests are well known for giving dodgy results due to caching and such.

Thanks for posting back with the test.

Cool sure, might not be able to do it midnight today though, school tomorrow
But midnight-ish could be around 11:30 I think ill be able to do it then.

Done it a couple of times got around 12-14mbps, upload speed is very very constant if that makes sense.

It has been made unavailable in a lot of areas now, so if you are lucky enough to be able to make use of it then go for it I say!

sounds good to me mate.. i have only just got mine and am like a dog with 2 dicks getting the 20meg config working let alone a 50 meg. i'll take it easy for the moment until i learn more haha!!
