10 Meg ????

Afternoon fella's, just found this forum.

Wondering if you could help before i ring NTL up.

Story is;i ordered my 10 meg upgrade nearly 6 weeks ago......(origionally on 2)

On Tuesday it finally arived,nic man ,,he even removed his boots on the way in.

Now he installed the cable modem i rang up tech support as it wouldnt register they waved a magic wond and its working now....................But when i do the speed test (tried several sites) and they all give similar reults.
See below please....

1st 512K took 2143 ms = 238.9 KB/sec, approx 1969 Kbps, 1.92 Mbps
2nd 512K took 2724 ms = 188 KB/sec, approx 1549 Kbps, 1.51 Mbps
3rd 512K took 2253 ms = 227.3 KB/sec, approx 1873 Kbps, 1.83 Mbps
4th 512K took 2313 ms = 221.4 KB/sec, approx 1824 Kbps, 1.78 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 1804 Kbps, 1.76 Mbps


Not what i expected as this was as near to what i was getting with 2 meg.

Any idea's before i ring up.

Is this the norm, if so i'll cancel it and return to my 2 meg.

Thanks guy's

Ps after installing Broadband medic the modem that was supplied isnt part of the selection of modems that i was presented with on installation.


Many thanks
Gary
