Hi.
For the last 3 days I have inconsistant download speeds using Dan Elwell's Speed Tester (registered).
On one occassion it was down to 175kbs, while upload speeds are in the region of 216kbs to 246kbs
Prior to this I was getting 90%-94% efficiency download speeds but poor upload speeds. Nothing has changed on my system all XP patches uptodate and latest nic drivers used.
Here is latest Dan Ewell test:-
Dan Elwell's Broadband Speed Test
Speed Test Report 05/01/22 12:32 - Quick test
Test conducted at: 22/01/2005 12:32:26
Test sequence: Quick test
Please note that these results are a snapshot of this particular moment. Run the test a few times to ensure maximum accuracy. Although the test has been constructed to be highly accurate, no guarantees can be made to the level of accuracy experienced in everyday use.
Test 1: Ping times to UK servers
Ideally, you should get a result of around 30 ms (lower is better)
meto.gov.uk: 96 ms
bbc.co.uk: 79.5 ms
worcester.ac.uk: 72 ms
This result shows serious problems with your ping times, and should be investigated.
Test 2: Ping times to European servers
Ideally, you should get a result of around 50 ms (lower is better)
free.fr: 87 ms
eu.uu.net: 71.3 ms
eu.uu.net: 74 ms
This result is much poorer than expected and should be investigated.
Test 3: Ping times to east-coast USA servers
Ideally, you should get a result of around 120 ms (lower is better)
rutgers.edu: 142.5 ms
mirror.nocservices.com: 164.5 ms
rutgers.edu: 180.5 ms
This result is much poorer than expected and should be investigated.
Test 4: Ping times to west-coast USA servers
Ideally, you should get a result of around 160 ms (lower is better)
mirrors.usc.edu: 234.5 ms
mirrors.tds.net: 236.3 ms
cybertrails.com: 265.5 ms
This result is much poorer than expected and should be investigated.
Test 5: Download speeds from UK servers
Ideally, you should get a result of around 512 Kb/s (higher is better)
apache.rmplc.co.uk: 264 Kb/s
This result shows serious problems with your downloads, and should be investigated.
Test 6: Upload speeds to the Speed Test Server
Ideally, you should get a result of around 256 Kb/s (higher is better)
broadbandspeedtest.net: 251 Kb/s
Results of this test indicate no problems.
Test 7: Packet loss en route to a UK server
Ideally, you should get a result of around 0 % (lower is better)
gold.ac.uk: 0 %
linx.net: 0 %
The results of this test indicate no problems.
End of testing.

-------------------------------------
It would be handy if anyone has an idea before I ring Tech Support (75p a minute on freedom) because the last time I rang them, it cost me £9.43 only to find out the problem was at their end and not mine.
By the way, I am using a Belkin F5D7632-4 modem/router/wireless with Windows XP Pro SP2.
Tried the usual stuff, powering everything down, then rebooting, still the same.
Thanking you for any advice.
