I have tried it at 3am, 10am, 12pm, 3pm, 8pm etc and its ALWAYS the same.

I know that I should only get UP TO 4mb but there seems to be some form of cap here - is it my ntl:home 120 modem?

example:

Sat, 24 Jun 2006 12:39:54 UTC

1st 512K took 1453 ms = 352.4 KB/sec, approx 2904 Kbps, 2.84 Mbps
2nd 512K took 1515 ms = 338 KB/sec, approx 2785 Kbps, 2.72 Mbps
3rd 512K took 1516 ms = 337.7 KB/sec, approx 2783 Kbps, 2.72 Mbps
4th 512K took 1516 ms = 337.7 KB/sec, approx 2783 Kbps, 2.72 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 2814 Kbps, 2.75 Mbps

Thanks

Same situation here in Notts, 120 modem, averaging 2.7 Mbps.... but I'm using a router & the other PC gets 3.2Mbps.
I downloaded a 500 MB file via gameshell & it was stable at around 2.7Mbps.
I'll try a direct connection without the router soon as I can.
