I ran three tests from this site, each one getting slower (by the minute )

Worth a call to NTL, or not bother?

1st 512K took 2093 ms = 244.6 KB/sec, approx 2016 Kbps, 1.97 Mbps
2nd 512K took 1172 ms = 436.9 KB/sec, approx 3600 Kbps, 3.52 Mbps
3rd 512K took 1157 ms = 442.5 KB/sec, approx 3646 Kbps, 3.56 Mbps
4th 512K took 1328 ms = 385.5 KB/sec, approx 3177 Kbps, 3.1 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 3110 Kbps, 3.04 Mbps





I also use netpersec, and i can see that my speed is all over when doing one particular download (say nvidia drivers for example, i used to get 1.2Mbps constantly) It quite rapidly jumps up and down, not constant at all
Fine here in teesside for me.
