You have very fast broadband.
Are you very close to the exchange?
(witchfinder general finding witches called richard, Thu 16 Jul 2009, 22:09, Reply)

I live in the exchange!
actually about a mile and a half away, max speeds should be 24/2.5 if I did though.

A friend of mine did live very near at his old house and was getting 22.5/2.5 which was blisteringly fast!

also on virgin. Though when I go back to uni it goes to around 60/1/5ms. I have actually had lower pings to my friends server than he did, despite him being on the same network (as shown in TF2)
