I never see 10meg on Speedtest.net
 
Ever since I got the free M to L free upgrade I have never seen a reported or even close to 10 meg whenever I test the speed on Speedtest.net.

If I were to use http://myspeed.visualware.com/index.html or http://numion.com/ I often see speeds that would relate to the upgrade, but never on that speedtest.net.

By the way is this normal on the modem log info

Acquire a Downstream Channel 331000000 Hz Locked

It says We registered with a DOCSIS 1.0 config file!

I use either London or Maidenhead.

If it appears to perform as 10Mbit should apart from a single type of speedtest (Ookla Net Metrics) it really doesn't matter.

Speedtest.net always has been a bit flaky..

currently though working for me but wasn't last week (giving me half speeds)

Since I downloaded the TCPOptimizer it seems to give correct results now.
