Hi,

I'm routed automatically through the Poplar proxies and this week had my STB upgraded to 3 meg, very nice

My problem is that none of the Poplar proxies can reach 3 meg speed, all of them seem to only max out about 150k, if I switch to a different proxy (Colchester/Swansea etc) then I can get the full 375k.

For instance using:
http://www.supernews.com/stats/active.txt as an example
Poplar proxy only reaches 123k but others give me the full 375 rate.

I've noticed this with nearly all web sites when downloading files.

Can one of the nice NTL tech people have a look, or if I'm mistaken can they tell me what I'm doing wrong ?

Thanks

Ian
