Up here in North Yorkshire I'm getting this today:

1st 512K took 4317 ms = 118.6 KB/sec, approx 977 Kbps,
0.95 Mbps
2nd 512K took 2583 ms = 198.2 KB/sec, approx 1633 Kbps,
1.59 Mbps
3rd 512K took 4326 ms = 118.4 KB/sec, approx 976 Kbps,
0.95 Mbps
4th 512K took 4267 ms = 120 KB/sec, approx 989 Kbps,
0.97 Mbps
Overall Average Speed = approx 1144 Kbps,
1.12 Mbps
Which is about as bad as its been since the 10Mb 'downgrade' in the middle of December
Normally get 4-7Mbps (yes it varies) off the old Samsung STB through my shiny new WRT54G router (wired or wireless).
Had 3Mbps for a year and got 3Mbps pretty much constantly once NTL replaced the flaky Harrogate UBR.
Reading the board it seems like the whole country is sloooooooow today. Perhaps a dose of 'All-Bran' might work
