How long has it been?
It takes a few days for them to calculate your optimum speed, etc.
Also, what were you downloading? Just because your line supports 8mb or whatever, doesn't mean that you can acheive that everywhere.

Run that test (with no other internet-using programs open, and no other computers using your internet connection), and report back what speeds you get (choose the recommended yellow server).

OK, seems like you're on a 2mb connection?
Those speeds would fit in if you are.
What are you trying to download? Speeds vary greatly with what you're downloading. Your line speed is only the maximum you could ever get.
The computer you're downloading from may be handling several people at the same time. If it can upload at a max speed of 100kbps, and there are 10 of you downloading, then each of you will get 10kbps. Regardless of how fast your line is.
