200 meg ... I think not - that's pulling the file from your local disk cache and has been removed.

Just a reminder, this thread is for posting results, nothing more.

That is 15-18meg... looks like it is coming from local cache as well, try a ctrl + f5 to get more accurate results.

Re: 10 meg - Modem, Location & Speed you're getting
Robin's speed test cannot be considered reliable for 10Mbit services, its' sample sizes are too small.

Suggest you try ADSLGuide or a different speedtest.

Re: 10 meg - Modem, Location & Speed you're getting
Location: (Sunny for a change) Swansea
Downstream 2884 Kbps (360.5 KB/sec) 3114 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream 272 Kbps (34.0 KB/sec) 293 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Modem: ntl home 120

Connected via ethernet - my results liked to be a little lower due to trafficshapping and having several things running on my LAN and the box doing the NAT routing.
