ADSL Shootout

Speed test via Bulldog in the UK, 12:15pm on a Tuesday (4mb connection):

IS:
---------------
Time to download: 97.203 seconds
File size: 5040KB
Throughput: 423.1 kilobits per second
Throughput: 51.9 kilobytes per second

SAIX:
------------
Time to download: 305 seconds
File size: 5040KB
Throughput: 134.8 kilobits per second
Throughput: 16.5 kilobytes per second

So SAIX has terrible download speeds, but lower latency. IS totally the opposite. Can't have both in SA it seems (unless I fork out a lot more money). 16.5k on SAIX from a 4mb connection? What that's, 5% of possible connection speed?
