>your adsl modem will not show 2mbit unless you actually have that bad a
connection with the exchange. what you see on the modem's information
page will always reflect what speed you are can achieve, but your speed
is throttled to 2mbit by telecom.

that your upstream connection this time around is slightly slower than
it can be.
