Re: New Speeds - June 1st
OK - got back from holidays to find upgrade to 4Mb in place and speeds test gave nice steady results - around 3.8. Then it downgraded back to 2Mb yesterday. Today it is back up to 4Mb but speeds are all over the place - below is typical:

1st 512K took 1352 ms = 378.7 KB/sec, approx 3120 Kbps, 3.05 Mbps
2nd 512K took 1723 ms = 297.2 KB/sec, approx 2449 Kbps, 2.39 Mbps
3rd 512K took 1772 ms = 288.9 KB/sec, approx 2381 Kbps, 2.33 Mbps
4th 512K took 1272 ms = 402.5 KB/sec, approx 3317 Kbps, 3.24 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 2817 Kbps, 2.75 MbpsShould I be concerned? or is this just a teething trouble thing. Why was it 3.9 and steady earlier, before downgrade/upgrade but dodgy now?

Thanks

Re: New Speeds - June 1st
As someone else said 4 meg in Glasgow Renfrew tonight on an Home 120 but only after disconnecting the power and rebooting modem. confirmed by checking the modem config and using a speed test which shows just under the 4 Meg download. Thanks NTL now roll on the next upgrade.
