The package I have with my ISP is up to 8Mb but because of the BT line bottleneck, I generally get between 3.5Mb and 3.75Mb.

Hi Iain, due to the contention ratio (set at the DSLAM) you will not get the maximum rate. However, you can subscribe to the uncontended dedicated link with BT.

The speed test gives me 6311kbps downstream, 679kps upstream. I'm using ADSL2+ business line.

Cheers,
