Hopefully getting New modem tommorow so will post new results, will run tests again at around 1am and edit and update post tonight with any differences.

Tried also

Seems to have decreased as the night has gone on! Even though i would have suspected there would have been less heavy use by others at this time of night.
Will see if new SACM . 250. (hopefully the technician will provide!) will make a difference when i get that done tommorow.

I'm jealous of the "guy who's also in Woking"'s speed. I'd be satasfied with speed around that.

And it's been giving me that sort of result since last week when the modem got it's new config (no matter what time I try it).

A huge increase, but a poor performance from NTL site. Strange. But, seems to have sorted out problems.

Just ran the speed test again, this time with Zone Alarm uninstalled (rather than just turned off), as i noticed my test machine was getting 4mb downloads (almost twice what my main one was getting despite being a much much lower spec).

And these are the results
Sat, 10 Dec 2005 10:52:57 GMT

1st 512K took 875 ms = 585.1 KB/sec, approx 4821 Kbps, 4.71 Mbps
2nd 512K took 828 ms = 618.4 KB/sec, approx 5096 Kbps, 4.98 Mbps
3rd 512K took 735 ms = 696.6 KB/sec, approx 5740 Kbps, 5.61 Mbps
4th 512K took 875 ms = 585.1 KB/sec, approx 4821 Kbps, 4.71 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 5120 Kbps, 5 Mbps

A big improvement on the sub 2mb i've been getting.

I never realised how much difference Zone alarm could make
