Oh yes, I see it now, but when it states that it is "closed", I thought it had been completed?

I wonder if Stoke cable modems have been upped yet? Probably not. They said end of June, they didn't say which year!

Hi All,

Thu, 22 Jun 2006 16:52:58 UTC

1st 512K took 1437 ms = 356.3 KB/sec, approx 2936 Kbps, 2.87 Mbps
2nd 512K took 1500 ms = 341.3 KB/sec, approx 2812 Kbps, 2.75 Mbps
3rd 512K took 1500 ms = 341.3 KB/sec, approx 2812 Kbps, 2.75 Mbps
4th 512K took 1485 ms = 344.8 KB/sec, approx 2841 Kbps, 2.77 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 2850 Kbps, 2.79 Mbps

any ideas?
