Yeh they confused me a bit. We pay £25 for crap speed + 8GB a month but I download bare movies etc. and go way over lol

- My mums on contract with orange (£30 a month) and we get up to 8mb (i get 8mb ) and unlimited downloads for £5 a month

This copy n paste from my router proves that -

Sorry but whatever your router says isn't what your actually getting. Your router is syncing with the exchange at that rate but your actual throughput will be considerably less.

Take mine for example:

Router:
Bandwidth (Up/Down) [kbps/kbps]:448 / 8,128 - That's showing that my router is syncing with the exchange at full speed.

Speedtest:


BT Speedtester:
Download speed achieved during the test was - 2311 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 600-7150 Kbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :8128 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 7150 Kbps
