At better figure for a change.

You'll have to go to the Land Oak and celebrate your upturn in speed.

My speed where fine again today about 7am when i tried them about 8am
they had gone poor again so i email the broadband support group
the had sent me some emails that my conection was fine found that out
when i email them just a few moments ago to tell them my speeds had gone
up again they also said speed test where unreliable. tried to said
that they could show a 20 meg conection as 2 meg and it is working fine
which i find it hard to belive and that the download manager and registery
editor (think that was what they called it) on my pc could becuasing it (which i think they are trying to pass the buck) . feel a phone call to complaints department coming on , as do not think the speed drop at 7am was due to heavy usage . noggo's what you speed like today

As your results demonstrate, many speedtests are not accurate or reliable, particularly for 20Mb connections.
That's why Tech Support recommend you do four simultaneous file downloads from UK servers to test the real speed.

Have a read of "How can I test that I am downloading at my correct speed?" on Annie's FAQ for guidance?

If that shows your connection is still slow, it's probably worth doing all the tests (q5, q6 and q7) and reposting the results to the newsgroup to help TS identify the problem.

I don't use Microsoft IE in use Mozilla Firefox and I think the download manager is part of the standard download package, as it doesn't show up in the add-ons menu (unsure as my Bro put it on the PC).

No problems downloading from zen test file site using IE7 on my PC. Can you bypast your download manager and just use the standard download manager within Internet Explorer (try right click `save as')

is your modem a webstar epc2100r2 like mine . and did they alter any of your modem channel because they did on mine a couple of times. it seams
better today have not gone below 9meg and that was in the peak time
been getting bettween 19meg and 12 meg for most of the day

[Noggo]

I have the same modem and yes they have changed my upstream channel a couple of times in the last day and it doesn't make any difference

Download speed:
1st attached image: 17:12 tonight download speed: 2477 KB/s for four simultaneous file downloads
2nd image: 18:43 tonight download speed: 835.5 KB/s for four simultaneous file downloads.

and now its even worse about 500 KB/s

seam did make a change at first they say my connect is fine and i am getting
