I'm still using Guildford and it's fine.
Just done another speed test and all is wonderful with the Renfrew transparent cache - perhaps it's been fixed?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These results are only a snapshot of this particular moment. They are dependant
on any other Internet use on this computer and any delays
on the Internet. To improve accuracy, run the test several times.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Section 1: General Ping Results
A Ping test is the time taken for a server to reply to a request
ntl:World Server:
22ms - Normal - it's about right!
UK Server 1 (
www.demon.net):
0ms - *** PING timed out ***
Tracert to specified location:
Tracert was cancelled
UK Server 2 (
www.bbc.co.uk):
25ms - Normal - it's about right!
UK Server 3 (
www.ic24.net):
23ms - Normal - it's about right!
USA East Coast Server (
www.yahoo.com):
0ms - *** PING timed out ***
Tracert to specified location:
Tracert was cancelled
USA West Coast Server (
www.lycos.com):
106ms - Fast - very fast response
European Server (
www.marcopoly.com):
24ms - Excellent - better than expected
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Section 2: Custom Server Ping Results
These results are to four user-definable servers.
Blueyonder Counter-Strike 1:
0ms - *** PING timed out ***

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:
110KB/s (880Kb/s) - Average, though much higher should be achieved
Download through Transparent Cache:
116KB/s (928Kb/s) - Perfect - running at full speed!
Download through alternative Cache (inktomi3-ren.server.ntl.com):
120KB/s (960Kb/s) - Perfect - running at full speed!
* It appears that the alternative cache is working better than the ntl:World - 1Mb service cache. To improve Web Browsing, set the Proxy Server in your Web Browser to inktomi3-ren.server.ntl.com on port 8080*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Section 4: Packet Loss
50 Ping Requests are sent to your server. The packet loss is measured by how many of the packets don't bounce back to the client. High packet loss may slow down your connection.
50 packets were sent, 50 bounced back; 0% loss (estimated)
Fantastic - no packets dropped!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Section 5: Transparent Cache Page Fetch Time
This test times how long your Transparent Cache takes to fetch a page from the Internet. Please note that this test is subject to many different parameters and sometimes may not be 100% accurate. This test can be used to show delays when trying to view Internet sites. The timing takes place from the moment the request for the file is sent to the moment the proxy server responds.
Average time taken to retrieve a page: 60ms - Fine, nothing to worry about
