I could offer you all sorts of technical advice about identifying the broadband speed, but the best and most simplest method, which is generally correct 99% of the time, is what sort of speed are your nearby neighbours getting? Ask them, because since youy were last on broadband the local telephone cable network (or parts of it) could have been replaced or upgraded, eliminating some of the problems that existed some time ago. Also all broadband services has been upgraded in the last couple of years or so from an 'up to 2 meg' to 'up to 8 meg' download speed, again this will have made a significant difference to the service you receive (even if the local network cables are still poor).
So go ask the neighbours, I'd suggest any property in the same street within 50-100 metres of your place.
