That's a lot better than last time .... if you have a 4mb connrction, that would be about right.
For info, you are with Virgin ..... the old Telewest and NTL companies were taken over by Virgin a year or so back, but the servers still retain the old names.

The other point to bear in mind with Virgin, if your speeds are bad, is Traffic Mangement. This is where they reduce your speeds, if you download too much during peak times, the threshold depends on what package (M,L,XL) you are on.
