....whilst initial d/l calcualtions may not be completely accurate, thus giving a false reading, it would appear that if you sustained that speed for minutes it would be fairly accurate. I'm surprised it peaked at 2100 and settled at 1600 as this would put it into 15Mb territory! On a very small file I would say that the calculation was not that accurate but as it's a sizable file, it certainly seems like you have a much quicker connection than the 3Mb one.

I too have had some spikes that would suggest there is some movement by ntl "trialing" the service - nothing like you have had though, only up to 460Kbps which is about 100 up on my normal speed.
