Reset my Samsung STB and got the speed below:

Tue, 13 Jun 2006 14:23:31 UTC

1st 512K took 923 ms = 554.7 KB/sec, approx 4571 Kbps, 4.46 Mbps
2nd 512K took 1563 ms = 327.6 KB/sec, approx 2699 Kbps, 2.64 Mbps
3rd 512K took 1516 ms = 337.7 KB/sec, approx 2783 Kbps, 2.72 Mbps
4th 512K took 1532 ms = 334.2 KB/sec, approx 2754 Kbps, 2.69 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 3202 Kbps, 3.13 Mbps

Manchester area but I'm due for a cable modem and 10mbit since I cancelled DTV. A person on the same street as me gets 9.62 Mbps through a ntl home 250 cable modem.

I'm getting around 475 KB/sec from my newsgroup news server though. Can the Samsung STB handle speeds faster than this?
