Best I got on 3Mbit was around the low 360s which is about right

EDIT: Worse still on 10Mbit the best you can hope for is around the 1150 - 1180 mark, not even 1200

Further to other's comments above, it also looks like you're getting that file from an ntl site, so you'll be getting a slightly distorted view compared to downloading something from outside the ntl network. Admitedly, there might not necessarily be much difference, but the higher the number of hops involved, the lower your speed will be.

ntl has three times the work to do. Stop comparing.

if anyone's wondering about what the upload speeds might be - the telewest 10meg top tier and their mid tier are both increasing to 384k - obviously all that tells us is the technical aspect means you can get away with 384k on a 10meg downstream.

Well In that case NTL also gets three times the income that telewest do and should be able to cope. They have no excuses.

And your problem is?

I can only get 2mb from my exchange so ntl customers are far from being the worse off. L in my office has to use dial-up as the best speed available

Yes if you upgrade to 3mb you'll be upgraded sooner as 3mb customers will be the first to be done.

Though 2mb and 1mb customers will be upgraded at a later date.
