Can you paste us some line specs?

Are you on Orcon+ or Orcon?

Orcon doesn't slow connections down when exceeding the bundle, you will just be charged overage charges.

Try it from a desktop PC with any firewalls turned off.

Try using your previous Hub and do the tests again. If you get good speeds from that then could be your orcon hub at fault. - one possible cause....

You should still be paying the same price and be moved on the to closest UBA plan Orcon can provide you.

If I'm not mistaken, Telecoms promising 10mbps connections for people on cabinets.
