1st 512K took 1922 ms = 266.4 KB/sec, approx 2195 Kbps, 2.14 Mbps
2nd 512K took 1797 ms = 284.9 KB/sec, approx 2348 Kbps, 2.29 Mbps
3rd 512K took 1859 ms = 275.4 KB/sec, approx 2269 Kbps, 2.22 Mbps
4th 512K took 1922 ms = 266.4 KB/sec, approx 2195 Kbps, 2.14 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 2252 Kbps, 2.2 Mbps

Which is not very good BUT

Maximum Number of CPEs : 1
Software Upgrade File Name : ntlhm120_ntl0001.cpr
Software Upgrade AdminStatus : allow

Which is a much better indicator

Just rebooted my modem myself and got it

Re: [Merged] Speed Increases 1st June - 2meg to 4meg

Still waiting to see if someone can explain the High first 512K reading that I keep getting. Happens every test and artificially inflates the overall speed, or does it? Am I actually getting 6.36 Mbps? If so, what can I do to make the other three tests work as fast so that I can boast of having 10MB AND 4MB at once?

3rd 512K took 1062 ms = 482.1 KB/sec, approx 3973 Kbps, 3.88 Mbps
4th 512K took 1063 ms = 481.7 KB/sec, approx 3969 Kbps, 3.88 Mbps
