The pricing structure from bt changed. Thats is why everybody is getting upgrades. The ISP's are now charged per gig for the amount of data transferred instead of the speed of the line like it used to be. The majority of ISP's now offer as fast as your line can handle and a data transfer cap.

download speed looks fine mate, upstream speeds looks a bit on the slow side tho. Running downloads as well would only affect the test results slightly
