seems to be ok now but i have no idea why.

Tried test on PC 1 and got the above results

Tried test on PC 2 and it was fine

Both are connected via a router.

Swapped Ethernet cables and no change

Swapped Ethernet card to back up card in PC 1 and no change.

Swapped ports in the router and no change.

Took router out of the equation, connected PC 1 direct to CM and rebooted both.

Everything was ok

Connected router back in and rebooted CM, Router and PC and everything looks normal now

1st 128K took 1462 ms = 89653 Bytes/sec = approx 746 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 1442 ms = 90896 Bytes/sec = approx 756 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 1452 ms = 90270 Bytes/sec = approx 751 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 1452 ms = 90270 Bytes/sec = approx 751 kbits/sec

Which is really weird as before i started this thread i rebooted the CM, Router and PC and checked all the connections.

grrrrrrrrr i hate solutions like this
