> Out of idle curiosity: have you actually measured data-transfer?

Several times, just last night I tried the BBC iPlayer diagnostic page and 
it gave me 5.8 Mbit/s.  In my modem settings page it says it's connected at 
60xx kbit/s usually.  Sometimes download speeds in windows go up to 600 
Kbyte/s, it depends on where it's coming from.  I guess the theoretical 
limit of my line might be 6 Mbit/s, but it would be a coincidence as my 
package is only for 6 Mbit/s.

> I pay for 6Mbit/s but get only 3Mbit/s.

That's like my dad, he pays for 8Mbit/s (AFAIK all BT packages in the UK 
offer 8Mbit/s) and only gets about 2.5 (according to the modem settings 
page).
