This is what we are getting on a good day

1st 512K took 671 ms = 763 KB/sec, approx 6287 Kbps, 6.14 Mbps
2nd 512K took 701 ms = 730.4 KB/sec, approx 6018 Kbps, 5.88 Mbps
3rd 512K took 1032 ms = 496.1 KB/sec, approx 4088 Kbps, 3.99 Mbps
4th 512K took 671 ms = 763 KB/sec, approx 6287 Kbps, 6.14 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 5670 Kbps, 5.54 Mbps
I have a TJet. I get just over 8Mbps most of the time. Admittedly that's not the full 10meg but it's good enough to stop me thinking about shelling out £50 to our money grabbing provider.

Is there any way of improving this or are we better off getting it downgraded to 4mb?

Thanks
Make sure to use Ethernet instead of USB.

Some firewalls can slow your speed. If you have Zone Alarm, a known badboy, then you must completely uninstall it. For others, try running with just the windows firewall and see if there's a difference.

For slow browsing, try changing your proxy.
