I've tried it again today, but still no difference. I've also tried with Norton AV and ZoneAlarm switched off and that hasn't helped either. I'm checking the speed using the Speed Test from this forum.
Zone alarm is known to restrict ntl to 4mbit on quite a few occasions, disabling it dont help, you have to actually un-install it, look on ntlhell, there is a few posts about this.

I also hope however that you are not going by a speedtest as they are not accurate, best thing to do is download a file from microsoft or somewhere similiar (not nvidia etc as ntl have extremely bad routing to the US)
