Default Speed test quirks?
When I start a speed test I quickly get a reading for the download & download speeds, for example 984 down & 690 up. There is then a long delay after which the remaining readings pop up - quality of service 83%, round trip time 34ms & max pause 257ms BUT the upload speed has fallen to 0.72 kpbs!

Is this behaviour normal i.e. reduction in upload speed & long delay or does this indicate a problem?

I too think there is a problem, I have a 4Mb feed and I see 4Mb Download and anything up to 30+Mb Upload.

Id guess your on a 1Mb line then. 600kb isn't great if you are. 800 would be acceptable to me. Who's your provider?

Question why not
why dont you save some money and switch to a 1M, it shouldn't affect your speed as you are getting speeds worse than a 1M already! what I mean is if your only getting 650 on a 3M link then you should still get 650 on a 1M link
