I'm a work at the moment (working nights, grrrr) - I justed remote desktopped into the server, so that would use a little bandwidth (all settings on the lowest). I started up the test
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robin.d...speedtest.html
And it's showing as full speed, 10mb. Bare in mind I've never tested this late before.
Think what I'll do is run several tests, dslguide, speedtester.bt.com and the robin.d.h.walker one maintaining records over the next week.
During the day, I can't remembet the last time I saw a good download speed. I'm going to run a few more tests remotely (not ideal I know)...
I know it's not much info to go on, but I'll be running that test now for a couple of days from the server with no other machines connected and see if I can get to the bottom of this.
At least now I have a few more bandwidth tests at my disposal.
