The basics for my service are: up to 7.5 Mbps download speed, up to 512 Kbps upload speed and 125 GB monthly transfer limit, all of which are more than sufficient for anything I ever need. The key words in the speeds are, or course, "up to" as a lesser figure is still technically "up to" the contracted speed.

I have seen/heard reports that some ISPs take advantage of the technicality in the language although I have to admit I don't recall ever having any problems and, as you can see from today's earlier figures, I may even exceed the contracted speed.

I just re-ran their test and the numbers were Download 16.84 Mbps and Upload .38 Mbps.
