Have tried the speed tests in the link and get what I would expect for my current package (300k). As for upload test, always fails. Uploading from pc is useless, can't send emails to ntl smtp servers, can't upload websites to private ftp host servers. Only thing I have had success with was attaching a file in my web mail after trying to upload it over 10 times.

Another thing is recently last week I bought a broadband router as I was planning to have a second pc for kids (if I ever sort this problem out) and even when the pc is off the WAN is permanently flashing for incoming traffic. Is it normal on the STB to have traffic on my side of the network when nothing is using connection?
