Back to my point - it IS unreliable.

Yes, the servers can support 100mbps, but only when its not busy.

As an example, I did a test on the maidenhead server. I got a 25mb result.
I did a test less than a minute later on another server (Manchester) and got my full 100mb.

I then did all the UK tests - not a single other one of them could get up to 100.

You're deluded if you actually think these tests give any form of accurate result, its simply not possible to do it when you've got umpty-dozen other people doing tests too.
