ermm well ive done a check in my area and the max speed i can get is 7mb from my exchange.

ive compared it 2 downloading different files from different websites, going to different sites to do speed tests, trying some speed test software on my computer and also trying some speed tests on my dad's wireless laptop (my pc is wired my ethernet) and it all seems to come out the same, on some tests my upload speed was faster than my download speed :S
