Re: 3meg worth it?

HI all
when on the 1.5Mbit service my speed tests were typically in the 1.41 Mbit range. Since upgrading to 3Mbit typical values sre:

1st 128K took 406 ms = 322837 Bytes/sec = approx 2686 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 515 ms = 254509 Bytes/sec = approx 2118 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 516 ms = 254016 Bytes/sec = approx 2113 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 500 ms = 262144 Bytes/sec = approx 2181 kbits/sec

It's the same whichever speedtest site I use - about 2.3Mbit
I haven't changed anything else hardware wise

Is it me or is it them - should I get them to check my Modem out?
Grateful for advice.
Geoff
