I get 200Kbps out of an 8Mbps connection. And BT say that's normal. It's false advertising and a ripoff, but all the companies do it and you cannot physically improve it. tl;dr: It's typical and you CAN'T fix it. |
How far are you away from your exchange? Because 2Mbps is ridiculously low for an 8Mbps connection, I average around 5Mbps (or are you talking in bytes?)
EDIT: You can't be talking in bytes, because that would mean you're on a 16mbit connection.
