What a dumbsh!t I am I was totally spacing out(must have been) when I wrote that it should be 257Kb (I typed 4.5Mb/257Mb^) - that is what you get when you only sleep about 3.5 hours a day---- I will now brace myself for flaming - flame away!

Maybe there are problems with the connection to the server.

Send a ping to the server to see if there are problems.

Yeah, the same thing happened to me...i have 3.5mb/384(?)kb and i usually get ~20-40ping, but last night i was getting 100 or more.

Just keep playing, if it continues for a long time (like a few days) then you should be worried.
