Just downloading on mininova and my dl speed topped out at 1009.8kbs. It sat around 998 for the whole download.  Im with Virgin media and have never had speed like it. a 255MB file took about 4 mins.

yeah, thats about right means you probably have around a 10Mb connection, so it cant be ADSL 1, must be either cable, fiber or ADSL 2.

Its cable, never had it that fast though. Virgin must be pulling their finger out.

or you're pretty close to a backbone feed - new cable upgrades in your area perhaps?

virgin upgraded all the 2mb customers to 10mb
but they have a fair use policy. which caps you down to 2.5mb after a certain amount of dll.
