Jump to PostYou need to test the speed of your internet connection. Google for broardband speed test then post the resutls from several testers.
Jump to PostYou need to check with your ISP (Internet Service Provider) what speed you are meant to be getting as 4.2mb is quite low. I get 12bm from BT Internet as an example.

That will depend very much on what ISP you are with and how long you have been with them for. Phoning them up once your fixed contract has expired and telling them that you are fed up with the cost and slow speeds can really get good results. I was originally on a contract with BT for 8meg (never exceeded 6 tho) at £25 a month, I called them and said I want to cancel and go with Sky and BT offered an unlimited useage 12meg connection for £12 a month.
It pays to complain!
