    i dont think i ever had dl's max out the speed, but the speed will depend from where you download it from.
    did you try checking your speeds on speedtest.net? you should getting in around the 17mb mark give or take a bit

    Wireless can be lower due to distance from the router. Signal quality drops and so does throughput.

    Also remember that Wireless is 54Mbps max and can be quite a bit lower than that in prcatice.

    It's the wired connection you should concentrate on for testing purposes.

    thats from beside the router...with wireless.

    wired, is having issues identifying network... tho earlier it was maxing out at 10mb... dunno, settings are all funky i think... using a zyxel p600 router til the bt one arrives... would that help? oh and i tried it with the wireless adaptor that came with router, no difference

    It might make a difference if the router was not an ADSL2+ one. AFAIK, you can only get 24mb on ADSL2+, so an older router won't support it.

    But the OP said he is syncing at 20Mb, so he deffo has a adsl2+ router.

    OP, never use wireless for speed tests. Always use a wired connection. Best to test your speed by downloading the 500mb test image from ftp.esat.net to test your connection.
