Whilst investigating why I'm only getting 17MBit:rolleyes: from my internet connection, I came across these two sites;

http://speedtest.net

This one allows you select various testing servers around the world. London and Derby give the best results for me:rolleyes: Interestingly I can get better speeds to New Zealand than I can to Houston!

http://speedtest.exkn.co.uk/

This is just a straightforward download/upload test.

Probably because your packets to to NZ aren't being screened by the NSA! :eek:

Also don't forget http://www.adslguide.org.uk/tools/speedtest.asp
Which allows you to compare your results anonymously with other users of the same ISP in the UK

I've used that site before but they cant measure up high enough!

I actually need 100MBit! but only have 40Mbit! However I am at last getting a reasonable download speed. Just need to figure out why the upload speed is so low:rolleyes: should be the same as the download:devil:

How come I get such a variation in results using speedtest.net and something like Internetfrog.com ? Speedtest reads 40% higher on average and 25% higher than the rigged one on my own ISP site Plusnet.

Well I'm happy, I pay peanuts for Blueyonder broadband and am getting 2mb on the nose, exactly what I need and pay for. Bargain!
