Have you almost topped-out a 4Mb connection?

That's what it looks like to me.

Were you trying to work out what speed you line has been capped at?

Unless it's a new connection, I don't think there's much room for improvement.
If you want to re-wire all the lines in your house with nice twisted-pair cable, and make sure that all the joins are really robust, you might be able to queeze a little more out. - Not really worth the effort unless it will make the difference between a 6Mb and a 4Mb connection.

If you are having problems with speed, it could be the other end of the connection...

thanks i,m on a 8mb service and i,m conected at 5.8mb sometimes its as low as 4mb which is fine ,just really wondered if a move to another isp would help get better download speeds ,was looking at one of the ENTA isps ,but unsure about there cutting back to 2mb thing they have in place at certain times ..but they seem good if your a heavy p2p downloader .

The real question is "how far are you from the exchange?"

All that double-strand copper wire under (or above) the road between you and the DSLAM is what tends to eat up your bandwidth. The less line there is, the less you loose.
So if you can see the exchange from your home; you'll get 8Mb from everyone.

Could be that either your modem or the DSLAM is auto-negating your connection speed down to reduce transmission errors.
