Shouldn't I be downloading at least 1mB/s?

Here is my Testmy.net Results

and here is my Linespeed results

My ISP has also confirmed at their end that I am getting near 15Mbs down.

I have tried multiple browser downloads all with the same results, normally maxing out at 450kBs. (not p2p, torrents etc.)

Any ideas what could be limiting me to downloading at 450kBs. I thought in theory if I have a line speed of 11mbs that I should download at least 1mBs.

Trying to figure out what to do to fix this, if there actually is a problem.

Thanks.

the main reason your seeing such a difference between the test in brisbane and testmy.net is because the tests here are hosted in the united states as are most of the downloads your probably attempting to download

the 450kb/s limit your running into is most definately that of peering between Australia and the US
