It's because there are many people in your area using the same service as you.
Or the server you are downloading from is slow.

You're only as quick as the slowest point. You may have 512K but if the other user on Kazaa has 56K you won't get above about 6/7K download.

I have NTL Broadband, very happy with it, dunno why people say owt is wrong with it.
Like Adam-D said, you are srestricted on things such as Kazaa to how quick others can upload the files you want.

Kazaa is renowned for dial up users...when u set it up even if you have a dial up connection you can still select that u have a 1MB connection so u cant even filter the connection speeds of users...bit pants really...
oh and I do have a true 1MB service
