Default ADSL Speed - confused.

We got upgraded from 2MB to 8MB on friday just gone.

My modem confirms this saying:

Data Rate Down / Up 8128 / 448

However, all the speed tests I have done (on UK test sites) indicate just under 2MB and downloading normal files, I am still getting in the region of 230kB /sec

The new up speed however, is being reported correctly by the speed test sites. Previously is was 256.

How can my modem indicate an 8MB connection but I still get 1.5MB - 2MB connection speeds?
