    Do you know how far you are from your nearest telephone exchange? That affects speed quite a bit, but it most likely is the quality of the line

    when using speedtest, try a few different hosts, and see what your speed averages, some of the hosts are downright useless.

    Do you know anyone else in the area that has same broadband, ask them what there speeds are.

    What do you mean telephone exchange ?, and no i no i ain't getting the 70 MB because we don't have fiber in are area yet, but it was slow then what i usually had anyways but i think that was just just bad signal or something its after speeding up a fair bit now :)

    Eh? How could you have signed up to 70MB broadband as you say in your original post, if you haven't got fibre in your area?
