LS13 (west Leeds) now upgraded! Woohoo, and doh.

Connected directly to my modem I get good speeds: -

Test 1: 1024K took 843 ms = 1214.7 KB/sec, approx 10009 Kbps, 9.77 Mbps
Test 2: 1024K took 860 ms = 1190.7 KB/sec, approx 9811 Kbps, 9.58 Mbps
Test 3: 1024K took 843 ms = 1214.7 KB/sec, approx 10009 Kbps, 9.77 Mbps
Test 4: 2048K took 1719 ms = 1191.4 KB/sec, approx 9817 Kbps, 9.59 Mbps

However connected (wired or wireless) through my router I only get: -

Using Linksys WRT545g (running DD-WRT Firmware). Would have assumed that router should have enough grunt for 10Mbit. Wonder if the extra load of the custom firmware breaks its back?
