ANDOVER appears to have been upgraded, I've checked and I have the new modem configs.
Speed test results using various testers seem to be very poor and pretty random ranging from 2.5Mb/s to 6Mb/s, although a sample 60MB multi-thread download from VM newsgroups resulted in approx 1.1-1.2MB/s so proves the old NTL 120 can still hack it!!!
Hope the download settles down, I've been used to usually getting rock-solid 480KB/s, when on 4Mb, from good sources, although Newsgroups download have not been reliable since I had to change from NTL to VM newsgroup servers a couple of months ago.

Above is a pretty typical speedtest result I am getting today , Speedtest.net was worse, but this was measured immediately after a 300MB dowload from newsgroups that ran at 1.0-1.2MB/s
