Bit of an update to my previous post about not getting 10mb download, well Ntl said as i was connected via usb this would reduce the speed. So i thought what the hell lets take out all the network settings and reboot my ntl 250 modem, connect it via ethernet... and what do you know it is giving a constant 9 to 10 mb download rate, using some of the website speed checker gives a few erratic results but using dan ewells test prog it stays solid. The url for his site is

What i am gonna do is just reset everything back to usb just to check it is still slower and that rebooting the modem hasnt sorted all of it out. Will update my results soon. Fidds

Update...
Well i just set everything back as it was with usb and i am getting max 3.8mb on all programs, looks like Ntl are givimg me the right info, just so you know the usb is plugged into a usb 2.0 socket... so looks like i need to make the switch to ethernet.
Anyone able to help me with a question...?
I have one ethernet in my machince but have a spare one i can intall, if i install the second one can i bridge the connection so i can use the second one for my Xbox 360?
Thanks All, Fidds
