If so instal a free newsgroups reader and download something off their servers to see what speeds you get

20 mb:2mb full speed and 700 upload
10 mb:1mb full speed and 400 upload

Speed test sites

Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test

thinkbroadband :: Broadband Speed Test

Bandwidth Place Speed Test

if still not happy with the speed
reset modem and maybe the router to see if thats the main speed given to you by the ISP.

2225 kbps would be fine if you are downloading a file, but a speedtest should read around 20 mb. File download speed is roughly about 10% of the connection speed.
I often use the Ubuntu site as it's a good guide and I always get reliable download speeds.
www.ubuntu.com

you should get 2mb a second roughly

no, it's down to megabits and megabytes, it's how they're marketed. - 20megabits IS 2megabytes
