The download speed that I've quoted is the actual download speed as confirmed by numerous speedtest websites - not the speed at which I was downloading files. So I don't think I'm getting all that mixed up.
Very strong hatred. I had their national broadband service "up to 20mb" and had a 1.5mb download speed. Fair enough, I know that it's the local exchange that has the limitation and it's not their fault. However, I moved house after 6 months with no problems at all (except the decrease in speed)...
