Mine is as follows:

Download 23Mb

Upload 1.1Mb

Ping 12ms

As has been stated check what you are paying for because what you've got is really slow.

Will do..only pay 25 euros a month (£20) anyway (wireless) but will check with them, hard as they speak broken English, which is just about where my Spanish is at :)

Never normally have problems with meter or loadind etc but the last 3 days has been terrible....meter lock ups, stuttering, on every other shot...unplayable, no matter what I clear.

Thought it might have something to do with the weather ?...last 3 days it's been 38 celsius (100F) in the day and not dropped below 30 (86f) at night ..Fan going crazy.

Anyway, cheers all.

Theres a fantastic programme you can download for a free 15 day trial Tune-Up Utilities which optimises your pc, internet and browser (HERE) ... and also features a game boost option , to turn off all background services not needed while playing. I use it all the time and gain massive results just running the one click feature once you've set it up to your own pc.

And strangely, if you search youtube for tune up utilities , some kind gentleman provides keys ;-)

1 tip though, when setting it to your pc, for christ sake , don't have it optimise your graphics , as you will see how your grandfather viewed PC's lmao

Tried it and good to see both it and the other one, I had already, came up with the same results. Australia is just behind the UK with this stuff generally, try many pubs without free wi-fi yet lol. My 18Mb seems run what I need fine though..teenagers Xboxing etc same time me doing this......My upload looks measly as a percentage of download in comparison, but just for pics up to Dropbox etc works fine and not heard the teens complain about game play. Guess if it works no need find out what I am missing assuming it's available here at a half sensible price.

I have no clue on what ping really means but the two tests show a huge difference? - whatever difference that is when at home.

EDIT 2 lol

Looked up ping as got wondering and using windows per below averaged 252 which apparently is OK for gaming...No complaints so will leave that one phew lol...........

Click Start, go to Run, then type in "cmd". Click OK.

A Command Prompt window will appear.
Type "ping yahoo.com" (No quotes, any website will work)

Doing this will show you how long it takes for Yahoo!'s website to respond to your computer.

Pings can be an excellent way to determine if a website is working properly or if your connection is slow.

yeh mine handles kids x-boxing tweeting, facebook and whatever else they do lol ..... The only gripe I have with my provider is, and seems yours is the same, is upload speed.

The US seems to get a more balanced package, upload and download quite similar, which ping wise must be a much better deal.

This should be fine to play a flash based game , but as you say , streaming really does effect it, wasn't that long ago really i was on 5 kb/s over a phone line lmao ......
