Try doing a proper speed test from a repuatble site like adslguide.org. This will tell you if your equipment etc is working fine
forgot to say, just because its advertised as 8M doesn't mean you will get 8M, it depends on distance from exchamge quality of line etc.

I have done a speed test and everything is fine - this was the result
1.4 megabits per second
Communications 1.4 megabits per second
Storage 165.3 kilobytes per second
1MB file download 6.2 seconds
Subjective rating
Good
The speed is not really in question but why the internet slows down when downloading anything. I wondered if it had anything to do with modems. I have had speeds of up to 400k + and 40k from lots of different places but I still get the same result while downloading. The computer works fine and i can multi-task but while downloading browsing is slow?
