Hi guys, i'm new to this site, and must i'm very impressed by the way it is conducted. anyway, on to my problem. i recently changed isp to sky broadband, and wish i hadn't bothered.i bought the sky broadband connect, which offers 8mb. but needless to say i get nothing near that. i will post my stats which i got from the test. i have run this test morning, noon and night times, and it never really changes. here's my stats.
