    Poor, Judging by your upload you should be on 12Mb or higher on the download. Your getting about 3.6Mb. There is most likely something dragging down your connection. Try connecting the modem direct to your main phone socket with no filter and test again.

    As a rule of thumb the download should be roughly divisible by 1024.

    For a mobile that's not bad at all. Some landlines can't get that.

    Stick with the mobile provider, I'm on Magnet's Simply Broadband (ADSL2) package which is advertised up to 24mbps, the max I get is 2mbps downstream.

    I will be having words with the sales team on Monday.
