No one (and I mean no one) gets the advertised speeds, unless they camp out in the telephone exchange with a fibre optic cable connected directly to the backbone.

3-4Mbps out of 10 is fine. 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.

My internet company advertises up to 1.5 Mbps and I get 1.55 Mbps, I must be special :) lol
