Manchester? Why aren't you like the rest of us Londoners and in Sittingbourne ?

Dunno. Zen win or fail.

Its hard to find a test server that can cope with my connections



Yes I do use the full speed and i got it at same price as the 30mb. Virigin dont seem to care how much I download, have not experienced throttling or anything of the sort. My usual xdcc servers and newsgroup service always let me download at 12000kbp/s+, around 93Mb

Crappy speeds here, due to get Infinity-ed up next week.

Well that took slightly longer than anticipated.

After 6 installation appointments I have finally been changed to BT Infinity.

Ping is 19ms.

Great ping! That speed is rock solid though, no dips in the graph and no bandwidth is shared. Reliability more important than speed at work.

BT are fantastic at getting things sorted, aren't they?

I may have to get a BT line reinstalled - it's upload speed that's cable's weakness and I may want to put several webcams online ..

They will mostly be aimed at bird-feeders and badgers ..

Has anyone explained what Ping is on this thread?

The amount of time it takes for your connection to reach it's destination and return to your computer. The lower the better

My main concern with broadband speeds is that if I manage to retire to rural Brittany in about 10 years' time, there will actually be something you could accurately call "broadband"

In the meantime I have approx 10 times more bandwidth than I can use ...

I thought mine was supposed to be stupidly fast cos of the fibre optics - have I been had?

Sometimes with VM cable you need to get an engineer out to give your power levels a tweak. Give them a call/post on the support forum.

Not bad like. It's a 20mb connection afaik, and does run at that frequently. Downloaded a film by torrent recently, it went at 1.9mb/s and was done in 6 mins. Was definitely impressed...

 

[krink]

pants. it's supposed to be 50.

Just had my broadband moved from my old place to the new place. im getting 5.35mbs. Virgin claim this will be about 8mbs in a week, which i cant figure out the reason for.. anyone know?

regardless, surely i should be getting better than that? in central brixton..?

 

[Ranbay]

they are going to double everyones speed soon.

this means i will get 120MB instead of 100MB

go figure.

We got FTTC installed free recently as we're in one of the lucky areas, but I accidentalied it by leaving bittorrent running for weeks, ouch. We had to pay for more bandwidths to see us to the end of the month

 

[gentlegreen]

Via my mobile about 4 feet from my wireless modem

5.4M down, 538K up.

Well that is a fuck of a lot better than my crappy TalkTalk connection in London. I cba to search this thread for it given the search function doesn't work properly but it was a lot slower than that.

Bloody hell, speeds have improved loads since this thread was started
