It is not strictly about your 2MB connection, but more about the bandwidth allocation given by the server.
I have a 20MB connection, but if only 2MB was allocated for example, that would be the fastest speed I would get, providing of course I was the only one downloading. :up:

Your partly right mate....I have 3 speed tests bookmarked.....carried out a test on each at 0820GMT today and got the following results:

1) 18.4 :p

2) 13.6 :hmm:

3) 3.8 :huh:

The secret has gotta be finding a platform that you know has been calibrated to a decent accurate level.
