bt finally fixed whatever fault was on my line today but confirmed their is an ongoing fault which seems to mainly be between 11am - 12.00pm and 7pm 8pm which they are monitoring.....broadband speed has gone up from averiging .2mb to what this says..from bt's speedtest site..

does this mean my speed is 0.5mb???? was told line would take 4mb

Your tests show a downstream of 1Mb which is what Broadband is measured upon. When the say "up to 4Mb" they mean download speed.

Also could be worth finding out what BT have actually done.... If there is an ongoing fault this could be in the DSLAM (in the local exchange) or on either their ATM or SDH Networks, upto the handoff point to your ISP, But if it is any of these it would possibly be affecting multiple users (depends if its IPSteam or Datastream)
