BT home hub confusion

[Clearcut]

Hi could someone explain something to me please.
I have just installed this new home hub after fancying a change from my Voyager 205 (ill be going wireless soon) However, The readings on the home hub configurer state:
Downstream 5,024 Kbps
Upstream 448 Kbps
yet I am downloading at 16-80kbps. How can this be?
thanks for any info.

Go to http://speedtester.bt.com/. That will tell you your 'IP Profile'. This is the speed that has been set for your line at the exchange. If your new sych speed of 5024kbps is stable, the IP profile will reset to a higher value within 3 days. Then you'll be getting around 4.5Mbps transfer rates.
