I was getting simular speeds to you, but recently, ntl promiced to upgrade my area to support 10Mbps fully. For the last couple of days i've been very happy, from good servers like Microsoft, i've been getting a steady 1.13MB/s transfer speed.

This is the speed test i took now:

1st 512K took 469 ms = 1091.7 KB/sec, approx 8996 Kbps, 8.79 Mbps
2nd 512K took 469 ms = 1091.7 KB/sec, approx 8996 Kbps, 8.79 Mbps
3rd 512K took 406 ms = 1261.1 KB/sec, approx 10391 Kbps, 10.15 Mbps
4th 512K took 531 ms = 964.2 KB/sec, approx 7945 Kbps, 7.76 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 9082 Kbps, 8.87 Mbps

I'll be a very happy ntl customer, and won't bitch aslong as it stays like this
