Re: speed test unsure how to read them
tried the earthnet connection - it won't fit into the back of the modem, unless I am doing it wrong. There are 2 leads in the box, and tried both, and none will fit into the back of the modem

Re: speed test unsure how to read them
1st 512K took 1078 ms = 475 KB/sec, approx 3914 Kbps, 3.82 Mbps
2nd 512K took 1125 ms = 455.1 KB/sec, approx 3750 Kbps, 3.66 Mbps
3rd 512K took 1282 ms = 399.4 KB/sec, approx 3291 Kbps, 3.21 Mbps
4th 512K took 1140 ms = 449.1 KB/sec, approx 3701 Kbps, 3.61 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 3664 Kbps, 3.58 Mbps

Can someone translate the above? I'm supposed to be on 10MB too?

TIA

The ethernet cable shouldn't make a difference, the best thing to do is ring CS I'm afraid...

Re: speed test unsure how to read them
And say what? That I should be on 10MB but running on 4MB? Will they have to come out? Is there any basic checks I need to do first?



TIA

Well thats me up and running with VIP and new modem. Had to call (India) as I couldn't remember my PIN number for modem - they set me up without using the set-up CD - getting much faster/better results and set-up using earthnet
