Unhappy Extremely slow on 10Mbit :(

1st 512K took 1482 ms = 345.5 KB/sec, approx 2847 Kbps, 2.78 Mbps
2nd 512K took 3515 ms = 145.7 KB/sec, approx 1201 Kbps, 1.17 Mbps
3rd 512K took 1332 ms = 384.4 KB/sec, approx 3167 Kbps, 3.09 Mbps
4th 512K took 2213 ms = 231.4 KB/sec, approx 1907 Kbps, 1.86 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 2281 Kbps, 2.22 Mbps


Repeat the test a few mins later:

1st 512K took 491 ms = 1042.8 KB/sec, approx 8593 Kbps, 8.39 Mbps
2nd 512K took 621 ms = 824.5 KB/sec, approx 6794 Kbps, 6.63 Mbps
3rd 512K took 861 ms = 594.7 KB/sec, approx 4900 Kbps, 4.79 Mbps
4th 512K took 2093 ms = 244.6 KB/sec, approx 2016 Kbps, 1.97 Mbps


There is no up/downstream bandwidth being used when the tests are being run..

I dont think it's worth phoning support again as they'll probably just ask me to reboot my PC a few times, muck around with firewall settings etc? Looks like either congested upstream, or bandwidth throttling

If anyone could help me I'd really appreciate it, as I'm at my wits end.. had packet loss/fluctuating latency and intermittent browsing for about 2yrs now.. Had my coax re-installed the other day as i've re-decorated my room and needed the connection point moving, so i know that is all OK. nice short piece of coax!

Cheers

Duncan
