As you can see, I'm obviously an ntl customer, as far as I am aware of, I'm using the same speed test as the ntl engineers use, "Robin Walker". I'm supposed to be on a 10meg connection, thats what I am paying for and have been doing since it came out (10 meg that is). I'm no speed test genius by any means but the tests above are telling me that I'm on a speed that is nowhere near 10meg. The most that I can get out of it is somewhere in the 6meg plus region. The lowest being, upto yet, 305kbps, surely to goodness this isn't right. Its been like this since it was upgraded, as stated above, I would appreciate your thoughts and comments. Thanks.
