Could be that your connection/local-exchange has been upgraded?

Try this speed test to get a better picture:

Hopefully you've been upgraded for free!

BT upgraded everyone on their connection to 2 meg didn't they? They did my wifes' friend last month and she's not stopped bragging yet .

yep they upgraded everyone UP TO 2mb for free - or the maximum you can get up to 2mb.

unfortunately my area can only get 1mb max so thats what ive got now.

I have two computers networked, one having the DSL modem. If I initiate the connection with the second computer, the connection is rated at 8Mbps! It's normally 1.5Mbps. The modem is a bottleneck, though, would have to buy a faster one to see if this is for real.
