Hmm well i've always got 830kb/s from newsgroups, but from the majority of web servers you'll be hard pushed to achieve the max from an 8Meg line too.. unless it's like a Linux download site which are dedicated in shifting a huge amount of data...

So I guess it depends where you're measuring the speed too willow..

Are you tempted to switch to Be in January entwisi?

Edit: I dont know where on Willows lane you are Willow, and Google maps refuses to give me the Postcode... so I used Mount Carmel postcode for referance.

I'm connected at 8000kbps and 630metres (straight line distance) from the exchange, where as mount carmel is 1.3km (straight line distance)

Now.. it depends how crazy the BT lines are to the exchange as that number could well double, which could be a reason for you not being connected at 8000kbps (if you arnt)
