I am on the smallest NTL package and getting this;

Thu, 6 Jul 2006 14:42:34 UTC

1st 512K took 8531 ms = 60 KB/sec, approx 494 Kbps, 0.48 Mbps
2nd 512K took 8672 ms = 59 KB/sec, approx 486 Kbps, 0.47 Mbps
3rd 512K took 8656 ms = 59.1 KB/sec, approx 487 Kbps, 0.48 Mbps
4th 512K took 8703 ms = 58.8 KB/sec, approx 485 Kbps, 0.47 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 488 Kbps, 0.48 Mbps

My uncle who lives on the same street has had his 2MB broadband upgraded to 4MB, and I thought I was meant to be upgraded to 1MB.
This is definatly running slow anyway, I should be on 750Kbps without the upgrade.
I have restarded my box numerous times, the last time I did it I turned off my firewall (Nvidia Firewall).

Is there any other things I should try?
