The Background

As I continue to get less than (avg) 4mbs 24/7 I though now was the time to relook at the problem. I work from home and check the speed periodically with various tools - not record over 4mbs... I've even built a clean machine, set idendical MAC addresses, turn off the fire wall and still made no progress... I listen to BBC7 online during the day and Realplayer often detects a change in speed and requests I retest the link

My immediate problem

I've not connected to the Cable Modem this year so 192..... as always it prompted for an ID. root / root - admin / admin both falied. Has NTL changed it's policy?

A typical Speed test

1st 128K took 952 ms = 137681 Bytes/sec = approx 1146 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 240 ms = 546133 Bytes/sec = approx 4544 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 281 ms = 466448 Bytes/sec = approx 3881 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 3104 ms = 42227 Bytes/sec = approx 351 kbits/sec

Keep well everyone
