It's still there. I just took the top link down. Look at the menu under "Extras > Mercury Speed Test" I'm in development but not working on that. I just moved it because it isn't a very popular option... I'm juuuust about to hit reply and the site just told me that you replied... I noticed that you found it under the menu.

So I've ordered the SB6141 and spoke with Time Warner about it after doing so. They've told me that when I switch to the SB6141, their system will not allow me to use the 300/20mbps "Ultimate" speed provisioning and I will be reverted down to the old 100/10mbps speeds and they will not be allowed to modify that to use the theoretical 300+mbps speed rated on the packaging. Something to do about network saturation and the amount of bonded channels (8 down instead of the needed 16). The guy was pretty nice and he seemed to know what he was talking about (3rd person I spoke to, I assume he was a higher level tech support than the norm). So, with that information, I've also purchased the CM500-100NAS, which despite it's product ID, does not contain a NAS controller or do anything but route those sweet packets down the cable. Once I receive the SB6141, I will hook it up and test what the person I spoke to said, and see what kind of speeds I get. If it does indeed bump me back down to 100/10, I'll switch it back until I receive the CM500-100NAS to test it as well. I'll report back when I have some of my findings once the mail gets delivered.

I tried a handful of tests between my PC and mobile and this time it seems to be resolved. Like my home fixed wireless ISP, the Three 3G and LTE networks both need a multi-thread test to check the full capacity available. I assume they throttle linear transfers to reduce network usage such as force streaming TV to use a lower bitrate as I've never seen a linear test show anything faster than about 10Mb even on 4G. The Meteor 3G network doesn't seem to do that, which I'm currently trying out with a prepay SIM. I get roughly the same speed whether I use linear or multi-threaded tests and their 3G linear speed is sometimes faster than a multi-threaded test on Three's LTE network. I would be curious to see what Meteor's 4G would achieve, but they charge €20 for 4G compared to €10 for their 7.5GB add-on and their nearest 4G coverage is also a 1.5 hour drive from home.
