Your broadband speed - post here

[richy19]

this is mine

ping isnt too bad

il try and get one of college but its around 45mbps

these are the speeds at college
this one to london becouse its closer/faster

this one to paris wich i think we should use as a benchmark so everybody can compare correctly

My 10mb Virgin connection at home...

[matty-hodgson]

speeds aren't too bad but the ping's always good

[Rainmaker]

Can't complain so far. I'm getting 6MB/sec solid from Usenet.

[pp05]

I can't put my finger on it but when I visit speed tests sites they show my speeds quite high (2-5mb).

But when I stream stuff/ download I'm getting 1.5mb or less.

[Moogledkupo]

Thats probably because sites often have download speeds capped.

[Time Bandit]

<£20 for 30GB (unlimited off peak) + 'top up' options



Not bad for Saturday afternoon > 3km from exchange.
Faster during the week.

[Phage]

Definitely faster on the weekends.

Why the difference? Speedtests recommendation - Dublin against Coventry - [IMG]

Nothing wrong with my virgin connection today, in fact its going a lot faster than usual and I've found out why ;



[Edit]

Just cleared all my cache folders and retried the tests in both Chrome and FF and got the following results ;

thats because your speed is in Mb (megabits) and the download speed from website is shown in MB(megabytes), so what ever you get on speed test just divide by 8 and you get your speed in MB. A 10Mb connection should achieve 1.25MB/s


and Lee, LOL?? Thats insane, maybe your a tester for the new 200mb? I wish i had that speed , if only i could afford it .

edit: it could also be due to a glitch as Vm been down for like 12hours , intermittant across country and tv didnt even work!.

could well be. my modem was flashing as it disconnected for 10 mins about 15 minutes ago and when I reconnected, everything is on turbo mode and downloads are flying.

I've ran various tests and it's flicking from 85-110 at the moment so it appears to be constant

[EDIT]
Just disconnected again and saw a virgin engineer at the cabinet outside. Just ran another test and lo and behold it's getting slightly faster

[watercooled]

Wow that's quick! Upload is pretty poor though considering the download!!
