Broadband query

[Gemsbok1000]

I have BT broadband and I was complaining to a friend how slow it was. He emailed me a speedtest which tells me that my PC downloads at 2953 Kb/s and uploads at 376 Kb/s. Trouble is, being pretty computer illiterate, I have no idea if thats any good or not! Can anyone advise?

Took me a while to find out - I have BT broadband option 2 which should give a speed of 8mb/s so am I right in thinking the speed I'm actually getting is pants?
