How fast should my broadband be?

Zascar · 2008-08-04 20:38:53

I have an NTL 20mb line. When I first got it, at times I would be able to get 1.5mb/sec downloading from rapidshare. Recently the downloads are hovering around 450kb/s, sometimes 700k. Just did a speed test and only getting 3mb What could this be and how should I try to fix it?
