im in same boat as u mate. running 20meg mac and all i get sumtimes is 8mb when running speedtest. but when im downloading nzb;s or torrents the speed shoots up to 1.9mb/2mb. also a gud site for speedtesting that doesnt lie is My Broadband Speed - Broadband Speed Test

cockneysean · 13-07-09, 03:12 AM

Try a torrent and see what the speed is.

Speedtest can be unreliable, and it also depends on local network conditions and the time of day.

Test at different times and see what happens.
