After running a speed test on my broadband line just now.
Using the BT speedtest facility , Results ;
If i login Direct to BT (speedtest@speedtest_domain) and run the test i get a download speed of 1887 kbps
If i login normally through my ISP and run the same test , immiediatly after , my download speed is 960 kbps.
Almost half the speed.
Obviously the line supports 2mps ( which is what i am paying for ) so why is there such a huge difference and can an ISP restrict it so much ?

ISP is TalkTalk ( waits for laughter, as i'm begginning to find out
)
