1st 512K took 2422 ms = 211.4 KB/sec, approx 1607 Kbps, 1.6 Mbps
2nd 512K took 6860 ms = 74.6 KB/sec, approx 567 Kbps, 0.6 Mbps
3rd 512K took 1875 ms = 273.1 KB/sec, approx 2076 Kbps, 2 Mbps
4th 512K took 2313 ms = 221.4 KB/sec, approx 1683 Kbps, 1.6 Mbps

Re: Slow 10mb in derby

try downloading an ISO from mirror.ac.uk

That speedtest may have some bandwidth issues. Its getting hammered by tonnes of NTL customers, i dont think it can serve up a proper download speed test these days. We need to get it mirrored or use alternatives.

mirror.ac.uk has lots of bandwidth so it maybe more accurate.
