411270 2005-12-09 00:06:00 Thats about what I get. Don't expect to get 2mb, when we signed up to 2mb telecom explicitly said not to expect that sort of speed.

I'm not complaining though, 1.4mb is more than I need.

According to the speed test, my connection has been as high as 2030.2 Kbps, but normally it is just under 2MBit. It really depends on how far you are from the exchange and as David says, in many circumstances you won't get the full 2MBit speed. :)
