Bit odd, I've had well over 7meg coming down with bit-torrenting before.
My connection seems to have slowed alot in the past week or so tho. Not sure why.. Maybe the shitness of pipex is finally seeping into Nildram
5ish is pretty good for 10:00 on a saturday night. Also don't forget that BT is P2P, alot of servers, and ISPs limit any one connection to less than your max. Thats why P2P is brilliant, trouble is it's caught out the ISPs as it's generated loads of unmanageable (and more importantly to their business model, uncacheable) traffic.
Yeah I guess so. More specically it seems to be website latency thats slow at the mo, not throughput. Although my ping in the test is good, and I can still get sub 20ms pings in games. I reckon it might be their DNS's.

DNS might make finding sites a little slower or unreliable but shouldn't affect DL speeds or ping once a site's been found. I recon it's just natural conention.
The adverts say up to 24 meg. I guess I would be faster with better cables maybe instead of old bits of string, but this is plenty fast enough for now.
