Upgraded in Bournemouth from 2MB to 4MB a couple of days ago and I think that connections suffered for a couple of days as I had lots of problems. Seems stable now though and am getting reasonable speeds though must admit it's hard to perceive the difference when browsing. However, downloading files shows a good speed increase and running the speed test at top of page gives the results below.

1st 512K took 374 ms = 1369 KB/sec, approx 11281 Kbps, 11.02 Mbps
2nd 512K took 1016 ms = 503.9 KB/sec, approx 4152 Kbps, 4.05 Mbps
3rd 512K took 1062 ms = 482.1 KB/sec, approx 3973 Kbps, 3.88 Mbps
4th 512K took 1062 ms = 482.1 KB/sec, approx 3973 Kbps, 3.88 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 5845 Kbps, 5.71 Mbps

Can anyone explain the abnormally high first reading though. I thought it a mistake but running direct from the server and performing at different times during the day all give a high first test reading. Because of this it artificially inflates my overall speed tp 5.71 Mbps, any thoughts.

Thanks
