    This is worse than I thought. I need to get better. Especially the ping is abysmal.

    Mines a bit pants, just ADSL up 1mb and down 4mb. In fact, my 3G connection on my phone is faster... Unfortunately, I live in an apartment block that isn't likely to get fibre optic installed anytime soon. Still, it's usually good enough for my purposes.
