1st 128K took 500 ms = 262144 Bytes/sec = approx 2181 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 531 ms = 246840 Bytes/sec = approx 2054 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 499 ms = 262669 Bytes/sec = approx 2185 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 547 ms = 239620 Bytes/sec = approx 1994 kbits/sec

Had similar problems 18 months ago and techs said all ok and finally offered to send engineer at my cost if no fault found, they found levels in the street cabinet had "wandered" and modem being overloaded (we are less than 10metres from box) Did not charge in the end!!

Thanks for your help
