Maryl, This shows that you are downloading at 9.77MB (megabytes per second).
Compare that with what you're paying for.
Are you on Virgin? In which case you would be on their "broadband L" package.

The other figure - 0.44 - shows your upload figure - which is always lower (much) This will affect how fast you can upload photos or whatever

Another thing that affects your "catch-up" viewing is... how many other people on your street are watching TV/downloading/playing games on the internet at the same time. I've noticed my connection works great until around 6pm then slows a little ... then grinds to a halt around 9pm

Hope that helps

Re: Bandwidth

It does help, thanks for this. I checked our Virgin bill and it does say 'Broadband size L'. So now I know I am getting what we pay for.
