Yes, your isp might be filtering/shaping your bandwidth. Some isp's are p2p unfriendly & cap the speeds for those who downld large amounts of data/use lots of bandwidth.

Tell us what speeds you get. And is that anything like your normal internet speed? You can do a normal speed test using one of the nearest test sites from here

But if they quote the speed in kbps (kilo bits/sec), then divide it by 8 to find the equivalent in KB/s (Kilo Bytes/sec.) LW shows speeds in KB/s not kbps.
