Downloading from a fast server is a much better indicator of speed, they speed tests aren't much use. | |

Most accurate test i've found so far is the speedtest.net website using the London server. | |

I had Virgin 20Mb when i was at uni in portsmouth and should of got 20Mb (20000Kb) / 8 = 2.5MB/sec transfer rate but i never saw over 1.3MB/sec transfer rate and averaged around 800KB/s. | |

If you are downloading films via torrents, bt will firstly 100% be throttling torrent traffic and you need a really popular torrent to get near 1mb/s. | |
