Test your broadband speed

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

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.
 
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 ..
 
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" :D

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

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...
 
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..?
 
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 :facepalm:

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 :eek:
