Yup I've just had a tech visit and put an attenuator on my 120 as the signal was too high - Made no difference, still getting this 2.5Mb/s down:

1st 128K took 421 ms = 311335 Bytes/sec = approx 2590 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 500 ms = 262144 Bytes/sec = approx 2181 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 3532 ms = 37110 Bytes/sec = approx 309 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 422 ms = 310597 Bytes/sec = approx 2584 kbits/sec

So it looks like they'll be replacing my 120 soon, well at least I hope the will. If NTL need to replace all 120 SACMs it's gonna be costly.
