Which is not very good BUT

Maximum Number of CPEs : 1
Software Upgrade File Name : ntlhm120_ntl0001.cpr
Software Upgrade AdminStatus : allow
ProvisioningUpgrade Software Upgrade OperStatus : completeFromProvisioning

Which is a much better indicator :)

Just rebooted my modem myself and got it :)

Are you using the latest Zonealarm, if so its interfering with you're speeds.

Re: [Merged] Speed Increases 1st June - 2meg to 4meg

Still waiting to see if someone can explain the High first 512K reading that I keep getting. Happens every test and artificially inflates the overall speed, or does it? Am I actually getting 6.36 Mbps? If so, what can I do to make the other three tests work as fast so that I can boast of having 10MB AND 4MB at once?
