1st 512K took 2078 ms = 246.4 KB/sec, approx 2030 Kbps, 1.98 Mbps
2nd 512K took 2859 ms = 179.1 KB/sec, approx 1476 Kbps, 1.44 Mbps
3rd 512K took 2250 ms = 227.6 KB/sec, approx 1875 Kbps, 1.83 Mbps
4th 512K took 1750 ms = 292.6 KB/sec, approx 2411 Kbps, 2.35 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 1948 Kbps, 1.9 Mbps

this is on 10meg, if I downgrade to 2meg it will be slower I wouldnt get 1.9meg on 2meg.
Ah ha! Someone else with a nice SLOW 10MB connection - I get about the same on my 10MB which I think is via Stockport but the strange thing is after 11pm ish it jumps to around 7MB DL - Do NTL need to do something to correct this and if so can we check schedules? All the engineers I've spoken to toe the company line of "up to 10MB - **** happens".
