That's the problem with these 'up to' packages. They are so dependant on distance from exchange, condition of the line and the dreaded 'contention ration'. However, during the training period the speed should gradually increase BUT when the kit in the exchange finds the conection becoming unstable it will drop the speed back. That's why you can't be sure what speed you are likely to achieve until the 10 days are up. Even then, the speed will vary dramatically depending on time of day (ie, how many other people are on line in your area).
