MAdMaN said:Nothing to do with Telewest. BT upgraded your local exchange, which puts everyone on it onto a 2Mb line (provided their line can handle it). After a few days they inform the ISPs, who throttle the connections so everyone can only download at the speed you pay for (i.e. if you pay for a 1Mb line, you'll only download at 1Mb, even though the line is connected at 2Mb).
It's because UKO haven't throttled the connection yet.Rindel said:Speed tests show 2mb too
Everyone connected to the exchange will have their lines upgraded to 2Mb, not just the ones that have paid for it in the past.Rindel said:also my exchange has had 2mb for a long time

Jarman said:just because ur connection says it is 2mbps doesnt mean u will download at 2mbps
do a speedtest and see what results u get
