Re: Upload Speed for 50Mb when it being upgraded

During the past 6 weeks or so average speeds here have improved to the point that speed tests usually show 50.10 and 1.65 Mb.
Single connection downloads from Debian show a steady 5.97MB with the occasional brief drop when a corrupt package is resent.
There is very little variation no matter what time of day or evening.

I am using a D-Link DIR-655 router wired. I have never had a problem with the connection dropping out, it is up 24/7 serving a couple of web sites in the background.
Having said that, speeds have always been quite good here, but in the past downloads would drop to the low 40's occasionally at peak time.
