Could be that your connection's been temporarily "unchoked" - perhaps bypassed the proxy server that could "control" your dataflow

Used to do that to shape the customers' bandwidth so that it gets an upper limit to prevent tooooooooo muuuuuuuch downloads!

Well.....download speeds have increased heaps! for instance, Pauls mosaic of the sun wich is 1.3mb ( so be warned) cam up within! a second. I downloaded a youtube vid ( 150mb) and the download speed indicates it was running between 1.0 and 2.0mb/s, where as normally I would get max about 0.5 to 0.75mb/s.

So the question is , why is this so ? anyone have some idea?
My speedtest.net results are pretty much the same as per previous tests......

Anyhoo
