You are looking at the speed of the network adaptors (NIC to switch on the router), not the DSL speed. It says they are connected (synched) at 100Mb/s. You need to interrogate the router status page to determine your DSL rate.

Was your service move up to 8Mb?
1.8Mb is similar to my - BtYahoo Help tested - ... 2.2Mb service.
BTW I have found downloads, from for example, Microsoft seem quickest of all .. I regularly see via the Opera and Firefox download managers speeds of 245KB/sec plus (>1.96Mb/sec) around 90% of ISP quoted max.
Open question ... What about the rumoured :-
...SP2 limits simultaneous half open connections to 10 before throttling further requests, this is not a registry setting but hard coded into the TCPIP.SYS file. The idea is to stop the spread of worms and the like...

A fix ? http://www.lvllord.de/?lang=en&url=tools
Coupling that with a number of progs which install with defaults set 'to call home' ... Could this lead to disappointing access speeds as they clamour for connection??
