But yeah, the service isn't too bad :D (if you're lucky)

My results from just now (1Mb service, Cambridge)

RDHW's speed test:

1st 128K took 1078 ms = 121588 Bytes/sec = approx 1012 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 1063 ms = 123304 Bytes/sec = approx 1026 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 1047 ms = 125188 Bytes/sec = approx 1042 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 1078 ms = 121588 Bytes/sec = approx 1012 kbits/sec

Ok here's mine:

1st 128K took 1062 ms = 123420 Bytes/sec = approx 1027 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 1063 ms = 123304 Bytes/sec = approx 1026 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 1062 ms = 123420 Bytes/sec = approx 1027 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 1078 ms = 121588 Bytes/sec = approx 1012 kbits/sec

Section 3: Download Speed Results
Three downloads are tested; one from one of your ISPs servers, one through your Transparent Cache and one through an alterntive cache. This will give you an idea of how capable your connection is. Note: You should take the highest download speed into account.

ntl:World - 1Mb service Server Download:
119KB/s (952Kb/s) - Perfect - running at full speed!

Download through Transparent Cache:
120KB/s (960Kb/s) - Perfect - running at full speed!

Download through alternative Cache (webcache.verynaughty.co.uk):
999KB/s (1 million Kb/s) - Blimey thats a bit swift you will have ntl on yer case :eek:

yep your right, no disrespect to anyone who actually does a good job people like monkeybreath are unsung heroes, its just others who are 'not up to par' with the service levels required for these positions i mentioned earlier that i have come across ALOT :erm:

Re: 1mb going slower.

Just completed another speed test
ntlhome 120
Downstream Receive Power Level : -0.51 dBmv
Downstream SNR : 33.74 dB
Upstream Transmit Power Level : 55.75 dBmv

and the speeds are
