Do you live in one of the UK's broadband blackspots?
It sucks that all of those average speeds are higher than what I get (~1.0mbits), and I'm on the maximum my line can handle. :(
Mine negotiates at 900k and I have to tweak SNR Margin to get it up to 1.4mbitQuote:

:shocked2:
Where I live, in North Cambridgeshire, I used to get 15Mbps then the external lines became noisier and noisier and now I get 5.5Mbps on a good day. Had to lower my package from a 20Mbps one to an 8Mbps. Neither O2 or BT will do anything about it. It's so frustrating. I thought we were susposed to be getting more advanced not less!! :censored:
"that's a lot of people and businesses reliant on sub-standard broadband speed," he said.
Any business reliant on broadband is asking for trouble. I know the price of dedicated business lines are expensive, but how long could your business survive is the adsl line went down? In some cases that I know of it has taken weeks to get the adsl back up and running when there has been severe problems in an exchange.
I live 10 miles from holsworthy (one of the blackspots) and get an average of 1400 KB/s download (11-12 MB/s connection). Just goes to show what a difference a few miles and a different exchange can make!
I never used to get speeds as fast as that (used to get about 850 kb/s), but within the last few months the speeds have increased (I have not upgraded my broadband package - it's been the same for about 5 years now). I also get an upload speed of about 100 kb/s which is double the 47kb/s I used to get not so long ago.
Im assuming they must of upgraded the network here recently ?, im with TalkTalk by the way.
Good old Virgin Media i get 19mb of my 20 mb :(... damn that loss of 1 lol.
At my mom n dads they pay for Be 16mb n only get 5 however which sucks but their lines are aluminium in the area and are really terrible.
Allington Lincolnshire, 0.93M and that's on a good day. Oh and I've got one of the faster connections in the village!
