Stafford has been done and my modem config shows the correct downstream rate but I still only get 5Mb/s.

The strange thing is that its never more and never less.

Tried various speed tests
Tried downloading from my Usenet provider using multiple connections
Tried downloading from a couple of local servers I have access to

In all cases getting 610-630KB/s (5Mbps) constant no matter what time of day.

Now I'm not unhappy about this especially as it seems to be very consistent, but I was wondering if there is something preventing me achieveing the full speed atm.

Cheers

Ben

Edit: Additional info - I am pretty much getting the full upload speed (490-500Kbps) according to speed tests

I am using a NTL:Home 120 modem. Is that likely to be the problem?
