Try Releasing/Renewing IP for your network adapter/router it may work, even tho your IP doesn't (Usually) change

2nd 512K took 1438 ms = 356 KB/sec, approx 2933 Kbps, 2.86 Mbps
3rd 512K took 1437 ms = 356.3 KB/sec, approx 2936 Kbps, 2.87 Mbps
4th 512K took 1563 ms = 327.6 KB/sec, approx 2699 Kbps, 2.64 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 2465 Kbps, 2.41 Mbps

however my download from microsoft is stuck at 447 kb/s

If your download was running while you did that test then that would explain why it was all over the place. ^_^

And horay for Grimsby being upgraded! (as someone else already said earlier)

The speed increase is quite noticable now, let's hope it stays that way.

Not got the upgrade yet after restarting my 120 modem here in Leicester, was hoping that I'd get it today as the status service checker on the ntl website said that there was a network upgrade in Leicester this morning.

Dont get me wrong, its not that im impatient, its just that I had hoped that the talk of 'by the 22nd June' would have some sort of clout to it - ahh well.

I guess its now gonna be 'by the end of 22nd June' ;)

...but hey, it IS a FREE upgrade after all ;)

a few folks seem to be getting upgrades half way through the day, so I guess it may still happen...
