I pay for 8 megabit (1 megabyte). What I actually get is 6 megabits (780 kilobytes). Upload is a measly 380 kilobits (45 kilobytes).
I recently did a neat little trick to speed up my connection. Unscrew your master phone socket and disconnect the orange wire (ring wire). It is only needed for old phones. Doing this may speed up your internet. Before I did this trick I was getting 425 kilobytes and now I get 780 kilobytes.
