1st 128K took 1082 ms = 121139 Bytes/sec = approx 1008 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 1051 ms = 124712 Bytes/sec = approx 1038 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 1062 ms = 123420 Bytes/sec = approx 1027 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 1071 ms = 122383 Bytes/sec = approx 1018 kbits/sec


Thats on the 1mb service (not been upgraded yet )

1st 128K took 1453 ms = 90208 Bytes/sec = approx 751 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 1812 ms = 72336 Bytes/sec = approx 602 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 4454 ms = 29428 Bytes/sec = approx 245 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 28375 ms = 4619 Bytes/sec = approx 38 kbits/sec

seems to be ok now but i have no idea why.

Tried test on PC 1 and got the above results

Tried test on PC 2 and it was fine

Both are connected via a router.

Swapped Ethernet cables and no change

Swapped Ethernet card to back up card in PC 1 and no change.

Swapped ports in the router and no change.

Took router out of the equation, connected PC 1 direct to CM and rebooted both.

Everything was ok

Connected router back in and rebooted CM, Router and PC and everything looks normal now

1st 128K took 1462 ms = 89653 Bytes/sec = approx 746 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 1442 ms = 90896 Bytes/sec = approx 756 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 1452 ms = 90270 Bytes/sec = approx 751 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 1452 ms = 90270 Bytes/sec = approx 751 kbits/sec

Which is really weird as before i started this thread i rebooted the CM, Router and PC and checked all the connections.

grrrrrrrrr i hate solutions like this

Well at least it's fixed.
