[subversplat]

Crispy, what did you change?! I only get 5ish mb on Be but I'm not sure what to poke at in the router....

 

[Firky]

That does not give you the speed of your internet connection only how fast the results can be rendered.

If you have ADSL or ADSL2 on a BT line you need to use: speedtester.bt.com as that gives you a true picture of your line speed and not how fast your moden / router / computer.

You'll need to know your ISP's username to use it and provide your telephone number.

Sky Broadband max (advertised as 16mb)

Download speed : 10.2Mbps
Upload speed : 0.58Mbps

Really wish this country would sort it's upload speeds out.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Orange (which I fucking hate) and the speed is fucking pitiful although there are three of us sharing an allegedly 8mb line:

Download speed : 0.38Mbps
Upload speed : 0.37Mbps

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Get a slightly different reading with that other site:

*Has a go on Bees hi-tech looking speed tester:

A year later and it's now fucking slower uploading and barely any faster downloading

Go on. Gloat in my face with your superior speeds...

Im paying for 16Mb with Sky, it will fairly regularily drop to under 1Mb Down during the daytime and the uploads have gone as low as 0.03Mb. Completely daft, when I was a mere half mile down the road, on the same provider, I got 12-15Mb consistently. And that isnt right next to an exchange either.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Here's my latest test (they do a great iPhone app too):

orange are pants.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Tell me about it...

 

[spitfire]

I wouldn't mind so much if they hadn't been so incompetent when we joined (7 weeks, no internet, nothing but idiots on the other end of the phone). But hey, it's free, you get what you pay for.

I'm going to change, I believe semaphore has very good reliability.

 

[Boris Sprinkler]

We pay about 500 Krona a year (about 60 quid) as part of the agreement with the apartment block we live in.

sorry.

 

[Sunray]

I've never liked those speed tests, its giving me 15Mbs/1.1Mbs which I know is wrong as I can get 18Mbs from the private MS download servers in the US and I get a very consistent 1.3Mbs upload.

 

[rover07]

0.77 Mbps download
0.29 Mbps upload

Vodafone Mobile soooo slow

Orange. Stirling area.

 

[subversplat]

My results are getting worse. I used dslreports' most basic test ( http://i.dslr.net/iphone_speedtest.html ) as it does more of the latency side of things (as in, why the browser will sit for hours on "Waiting for google.co.uk....") and I get pings in excess of 1000ms. This is not right!

I'll call the ISP today again

Your local exchange is Brixton and the maximum theoretical speed achievable on your line via ADSL Max is 5.86Mb which is 80 percent faster than this test shows you are getting.

Be broadband is our supplier
Package is Be Pro
A professional standard service with a max download speed of up to 24meg
Upload speed of up to 2.5 meg

No real change since I last posted in this thread
