Re: NTL Speed Test

So the link at the top of this page that everyone uses is only a ball park figure, right ?
I've used it several times in the last few days and it came out every time at 2.85 / 2.86.
That would be great if I was on 3 meg, but unfortunately I'm paying for 10 meg, and to me that seems a tad slow.
Rang CS and, "yes, that's right Mr Goodwin you are on 10 meg"
OK I'll phone BB Technical, and I got through to an operative who after a few minutes told me that there was something wrong with my settings at their end, but he couldn't alter it because some system or other was down.
I phoned again the next day and got through to a different chap who was just going to read me his script and tell me my connection was indeed ok.
I am prepared to accept it's "up to" 10 meg, but not prepared to accept that three quarters of my speed is lost in transit.
Is this possible at all ?
Can anybody check what's going on ?
cheers.
