iTunes download speeds

Firstly, I wasn't sure what forum to post this in. So I apologise if I choose poorly. I was just wondering about the speed of downloads from the iTunes store. I'm on a 25MB connection and speedtest.net tells me I get around 20MB of that. But my download speeds from iTunes are the exact same as they were when I was on a 7MB…

Does iTunes have the download speed capped?

It's not particularly speedy. Guess it's down to the time of day and other factors local to you as well. Podcasts will be downloaded from third-party servers so speeds there can vary wildly.
