My download test is to go to http:://sunfreeware.blueyonder.co.uk then click on any version of Solaris on the right top and select gcc on right bottom,

Now select the gcc package from the main part of the screen. This is large enough to test speeds and mirrored enough so clash is not at server side.

Now I'm not suggesting everyone does this. I use Solaris and gcc so I do download it anyway. The principle is to try to grab a large file from a quiet site so the contention is not at the source.

Lastnight speedtests fluctuated from 100k to 8M. I'm on 10M with a STB and wireless though the latter should cope easily with 10M given the equipment and placement. Downloads from 200kB on symantec to 500kB+ on sunfreeware.

Not totally happy yet, want consistant 10M but not paying ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£50. I work for ntl.
