@ aki Agreed. Let's be courteous to Mbuthia :-)
@ Mbuthia. As you keep checking on your link.
Remember, you are the customer and the ISP should be able to prove to you that you are getting what you are paying for.i.e Graphs and other utilisation information should be readily available. But be careful that your test is set up to measure the link between you and ISP. Unless of course they are selling you a dedicated link between two clearly defined points.

@aki,
If ISPs could purchase 155Mbps because the clients need upto 155Mbps(not even factoring in the fact that Overhead bytes offer a payload roughly 140 Mbits/sec as @john says which I agree),the ISPs willnot be in business.Some ISPs TRULY offer dedicated bandwidth but they also capitalise on the fact that not all clients use up all their capacity at the same time,so they can comfortably balance their traffic + other traffic being local through IXP,makes them in business.
If @simon has a good managed router,he can also check the traffic on the outside interfac of his router to be on the safe side
Please I feel MTU willnot be relevant in this case
@Tano-pings, I think we have hijacked Simon's thread and others may complain of being spammy. Letting it be for now. I can only imagine if we were SPs, his problems were resolved. :-)
