I ran a speed test a while back and was not pleased with the result showing 4mb on a 10mb cable connection, I then took the wireless connection out of the equation by directly connecting with wire to the router and lo and behold 10mb was actually available, all the problems were down to the wireless connection albeit supposed to be capable of 54mb. upgradeing to a 104mb capable router helps but still sufferes slightly from contention with quite a few other wireless routers around the locality, changing channels helped a bit more and on a good day I get the full wack. but a bad day is not very bad these days may be as low as 6mb, but at least its down to the wireless not the isp (for a change)
