Smile Small Request: Speed Test From Area...

Can some people provide me with speed tests on NTL 4MB and 10MB in (Grimsby/Cleethorpes) DN32 - DN35 and surround areas please.

I may migrate to Cable from ADSL and would like to know what the speeds are like for this area on NTL 4MB & 10MB. (ADSL ISP wants to transfer to new address with special offer lol)

Thanks for your time

(Small update to a thread around a month ago - my moving date is set now to 11th August )

2nd 512K took 438 ms = 1169 KB/sec, approx 9633 Kbps, 9.41 Mbps
3rd 512K took 421 ms = 1216.2 KB/sec, approx 10021 Kbps, 9.79 Mbps
4th 512K took 438 ms = 1169 KB/sec, approx 9633 Kbps, 9.41 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 9735 Kbps, 9.51 Mbps

Not the best way for me to do a speed test.

[edit]

Sorry didn't realise you were asking for a specific area.
