I tried it again another 8 times and for the next 5 tries I hit between 6.5Mb and 7.7Mb. However, I'm a little concerned with the 6th attempt which was 362kbps but, as the next 2 were back to around 7Mb I'm hoping it was a one off.
I'm in the Watford area so, seeing as other people are getting good speeds, maybe ntl are slowly getting things sorted out around the country bit by bit.

Ok, so I'm getting up to 8Mb now on occasion, 4Mb more regularly, unfortunately I'm also getting a complete loss of service for 5-10 seconds every couple of minutes. Still, I suppose sort of heading the right direction.
This is a bit off topic but, if STB users can only get up to 5Mb, why dont ntl just create a 5Mb package for people with STB's? (Ok so the obvious answer is why charge someone £30pm when you know you can get £38pm out of them)
