These results appear to be rather fast: maybe this page was in the browser cache.


This is my speed, care of Telewest, bless them

It is true that you never go back to 56k...

4th 128K took 1125 ms = 116508 Bytes/sec = approx 969 kbits/sec

No idea who the connection is with, nor the speed we pay for - works OK for me & that's all I need to know! Over a wireless home network if that makes a difference.

Must try this tomorrow at work!

Still only have a 1Mb connection. Think some more research is needed.

Being a complete technical Ejit got an email from Tiscali this morning saying they are upgrading me to 1MB connection for free. Pay £24.99 a month no limits access, is this good??

I have 1mb unlimited with free weekend phone calls for £14.99 -----from tiscali.

give them a ring - the current deal should be 2mb for £17.99 - unlimited.

if you are still paying £24.99 a month they are "overcharging" you by not altering your contract - according to Tiscali it's up to you to keep on top of getting the best deals for yourself

Quite right.

A lot of people get really hung up about speed tests. There are sooooo many variables at any given time when testing that I really don't see the point for anything other than an "indicative" ability at that time.

I'd rather see a decent speed test to your local router at the exchange to properly verify the local loop speed.

Still on 1Mbit with NTL:

1st 128K took 982 ms = 133475 Bytes/sec = approx 1111 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 1061 ms = 123536 Bytes/sec = approx 1028 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 1072 ms = 122269 Bytes/sec = approx 1017 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 1041 ms = 125910 Bytes/sec = approx 1048 kbits/sec

I'm told I'll get 10Mbit eventually, after they have upgraded everyone else who's currently on 3 and 2Mbit.

I was watching Click Online a couple of weeks back and 100Mbit is the norm if you live in Seoul, South Korea.
