I get 185.5KB/s on my 8900. Not too bad.

Remember weekends aren't the problem, it's weekdays.
That said the BIS 2.8 upgrade was supposed to go through on European servers last night so maybe it's permanent?
EDIT: Bear in mind the speed test is giving you results in bit and not bytes so Piesang divide your speed by 8 to get kbps. I thought 189kb was too much for Edge.
