Well I decided to give the tweaks shown here and on other sites a go.
So upgraded online back to 10mb, spent 3 hours tweaking settings to
recommended or identified by tweaking programs as being optimal,
and here is what I got
1st 512K took 1000 ms = 512 KB/sec, approx 4219 Kbps,
4.12 Mbps
2nd 512K took 1000 ms = 512 KB/sec, approx 4219 Kbps,
4.12 Mbps
3rd 512K took 1000 ms = 512 KB/sec, approx 4219 Kbps,
4.12 Mbps
4th 512K took 1016 ms = 503.9 KB/sec, approx 4152 Kbps,
4.05 Mbps
Overall Average Speed = approx 4202 Kbps,
4.1 Mbps

2nd 512K took 984 ms = 520.3 KB/sec, approx 4287 Kbps,

Unfortunately I'm now stuck with the 10mb for 30 days before I can
downgrade again, at least I have plenty of time to try tweaking
