Certainly good enough for most things.

What speed are you paying for?

Yours is just over 20mbps, so below average if you're in a suburban or city area, but certainly fast enough (download something at 2.5MB/s) for almost every use.

Those averages make me laugh.

No where near what people I know get. Average in the city round me, on ADSL, is about 6-8Mbps

No, that is what it is set at, what did you sign up for speed wise?

I signed up for "up to" 17Mbps and I get about 12
