hello. my first post so be gentle lol. ok i formatted my hdd and re installed xp. i have 10mb on a NTL 250 cable modem.
before the re install i have greating great download speeds.. now i just did a speed test and it says this!!

Speed Test Results
Date 20/04/07 21:19:20
Speed Down 728.25 Kbps ( 0.7 Mbps )
Speed Up 477.56 Kbps ( 0.5 Mbps )
Port 8095
Server speedtest1.adslguide.org.uk

bit confused to say the least... now when i reformated/ i just plugged me cable modem in and the net just worked.. im bit of a novice at computers so did i need to install any thing else or set anything up..
just thought it was dam slow..

any ideas?
