On the Croydon UBR, apparently some of the customers aren't experiencing 'full' or near full speeds until the techies 'exit their job', might be coincidence though as some guy from despatch said it just takes time to move ubr, (could be correct, i was on ubr03, now on 19)

Speedwise, I don't trust Speedtest sites and i've tried downloading some linux distros as you do, and I get a full 50mb, if not 52.

I'd like to know how you can access the modem though (used to be the 192.168.100.1)

By the way, my tech tested the modem on my old 2.8ghz P4 machine and it couldn't handle it, so slow users might not have a fast-enough machine (especially the disk-cache) - It was first getting about 20mb download / and the full 50mb upload speed when he installed the modem, but then as above, he exited the job and we waited for a bit and got near the 50mb, I tried a few distros of my own using Internet Download Manager to segment the file into pieces and a full 50mb appeared!
