Just tried that twice mark i got same results as the other week...

Download speed 0.43

but then got this message on upload

download test returned an error while trying to read the upload file.

it got too (on upload) 0.09 then it crashed with the above message.....

Skype will cost you 2.2c per min to call anywhere in Britain, same with most large countries, it only costs me about 3c per min to call mobiles in China..........Best thing ever, just buy your credit in $20 lots & it lasts for months, you can get a Skype phone for about $15 delivered from ebay, just like a mobile but plugs into usb, anyone you know back home with a computer can do the same then you can call all day with the webcam running........almost like being there but you don't have to smell them.
And regarding the telemarketers the best wait was one where I picked the phone up after a good 10min to just hear them hang up

Thats a speed of 430 kbps download
and you got a result of 90 kbps upload before a error occured
so thats not to bad for a 512/128 kbps service and you will not get much better down here bud.
best you can do is jump up to a faster service if its too slow for you.

I just changed my speed from 8mb to 20mb, it happens on the 1st. Can't wait!!!!
