I cant remember the exact details but it was something along the lines of 3.5MHz and they have filtered out the noise. Its still very early days but from yesterday I havent had a single T3 timeout

Had a manager and a tech round yesterday but they had trouble with my laptop so they are coming back with their own laptop to run some speedtests, only thing is my codewords are still climbing like they were before and speedtests on my ps3 are always between 2Mb and 20Mb wired, its always up and down. I will have to see what they say when they run tests from their laptop.
what server are you using on speedtest.net on your PS3, just out of interest.

Ive noticed recently when using the PS3 to check speed from the above site, it no longer finds all the servers and just shows a couple in the UK.

Previously I used london which seemed to give good results, but its no longer visible.

Coupled to this the speed is now displayed in Kbps not Mbps, with some of the wording in German
