Eileen as said do a test at speednet - virgin will recommend you test with that and its something we all use and easy to see and understand the results. Again as said if your do it wirelessly you may not get the top speed but doing it wired you should do
heres my test and i get 60
this is done wired and look at the download speed

You are getting what your supposed to get there for 20mb, I would try and get your upload increased though.

I was getting 100mb down and 4-5 upload, I rang and asked them about them doubling the upload and they did at no cost now I get between 8-10 upload.
 
I don't mean to boast but :look here: :woohoo:

yes yes yes ok ok ok LOL we get the message LOUD and clear! BUT you need more speed to run the likes of this place - i dont :) plus cant afford to go to 100 - i pay enough for my package lol!


@ Eileen if your getting that on wifi you got good speed! now try it on a wired pc if you have one, i tend to usually do its at least 3 times to get an everage, but then if you do that you do get carried away and tend to play with it on/off all day to see when you get the best speeds. you can also open an account so you can see all your results and check when your best time of day is also if you look top rh corner it will give you the time and date
Also different browsers will give you a different speed - Chrome is meant to be the fastest
Top one is Firefox this one is chrome

I was getting 16mb download wired (not fibre) and only 2mb wireless. I changed the channel on my router and got 15Mb wireless.

Worked for me
