I tried though.......

I think its just a calculation then, it doesn't contact the phone directly and do a test (like how a line noise check is done). Hope I do get 4Mbit in practice thou :rolleyes:

Boo. That must mean it is so slow they don't want to discourage me from joining. :)?

If you want to check out what your bandwidth is at any one time from and to servers all over the globe, this is the sod you want to try: SpeedTest.net (http://www.speedtest.net/). Granted it won't check your line to the local exchange without some guesswork, but it's really, really fun watching the performance drop off when you reach out to the big wide world.
