    yeah i used that a few weeks ago...i wasnt sure what broadband speed i was getting so i thought id test it out and it came up as 1970kbps with around 190kbps upload...and then only today i rang them up and they told me i had around 1.92meg connection! it was bang on! although i am getting ripped off for the connection...so looking to change my broadband provider....any reccomendations for someone living in the uk...im looking to pay anywhere between £10-20 a month...if i told you how much im paying now...you'd be shocked!
