I have NTL 600k thru Set Top Box->Router->Network Card

I get an average speed of 60-70k tho i often see speeds of above 80 and even above 100 and yes, these speeds are real.

The theory is, is that with NTL you don't get a definite QoS (Quality of Service) like you do with ISDN and Leased Lines so youre Modem will grab all the bandwidth it can muster, be this below the rated limit of 600kilobits or whatever or above.
