    are you by any chance downloading torrents because speeds can vary greatly with torrents

    go to this site a do a speed test and post it here

    Dont use speedtest sites. Download a large file from ftp.heanet.ie

    I can get a variation of 9mb from different speed tests on a 24mb line. However an ftp download is always about 1.8MB. Which is about 14Mb. Considering my distance from the exchange its what I expect.

    Never trust a speedtest site. They are not accurate.

    I downloaded a debian iso from HeaNet at 2.49MB/s which converts to 20 megabits per second.

    Well there you go, your speeds are spot on.
