Chris,

Thanks for the quick reply.

The 1st test result is often 10005, but does vary between 9k and 17K!

Using the forum speedtest a couple of times, I received the following:

1st 512K took 1687 ms = 303.5 KB/sec, approx 2501 Kbps, 2.44 Mbps
2nd 512K took 2172 ms = 235.7 KB/sec, approx 1942 Kbps, 1.9 Mbps
3rd 512K took 2156 ms = 237.5 KB/sec, approx 1957 Kbps, 1.91 Mbps
4th 512K took 2141 ms = 239.1 KB/sec, approx 1970 Kbps, 1.92 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 2093 Kbps, 2.04 Mbps

4th 512K took 2125 ms = 240.9 KB/sec, approx 1985 Kbps, 1.94 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 2096 Kbps, 2.05 Mbps

Whilst not as dramatic, the first test result is still unusully high.
