Still, I'm going on holiday in a couple of days so I really couldn't care less

Was you on 2MB, then upgraded 4MB and downgraded to 2MB again? If so try rebooting your modem once more, then check 192.168.100.1 using 'root' as the user/pass.

I was upgraded to 4mb today automatically, I did not downgrade the speed myself.

I checked 192.168.100.1

Maximum Downstream Data Rate : 2048000 bps
Maximum Upstream Data Rate : 200000 bps

Weird?????

Lets see a speed test blue

Im in Worthing and have a Samsung STB, after rebooting it ive got these results:

1st 128K took 219 ms = 598502 Bytes/sec = approx 4980 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 547 ms = 239620 Bytes/sec = approx 1994 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 531 ms = 246840 Bytes/sec = approx 2054 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 531 ms = 246840 Bytes/sec = approx 2054 kbits/sec

So its hard to tell

I'm also in Worthing and I've rebooted twice and mines showing as:

Tue, 13 Jun 2006 20:58:05 GMT

1st 512K took 1594 ms = 321.2 KB/sec, approx 2647 Kbps, 2.58 Mbps
2nd 512K took 2172 ms = 235.7 KB/sec, approx 1942 Kbps, 1.9 Mbps
3rd 512K took 2172 ms = 235.7 KB/sec, approx 1942 Kbps, 1.9 Mbps
4th 512K took 2109 ms = 242.8 KB/sec, approx 2001 Kbps, 1.95 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 2133 Kbps, 2.08 Mbps

So I'm getting impatient and hoping it will happen overnight..

Also, my newsgroup downloading is very poor tonight so hopefully thats a sign that they are doing something to the network.

That looks to me more like 2MBit with a proxy spike

Since the 4meg updates have started happening my downloads have been spiking up to 4meg and then settling down to 2... is this down to NTL unlocking the network and not handling the speeds quite properly?
