Your broadband speed - post here

[blackbox]

I received the ethernet cable over the weekend. Seems that the wireless was coping well, only a slight improvement

Not looking good...



Is there anything I can do about it?

I gathered the courage to use my x-ray vision and had a look at the masterbox. Yes BT, it wasn't me...

Behind the faceplace is, or looks like a pcb, that plugs directly into the test socket. Cannot find the orange bell wire, or is this inside the telephone cable that leads to the ADSL/telephone filter box? Do I need to unscrew the test socket housing to see the belwire?

uhmm, I also noticed that my server has changed. Is it the testing server or something to do with the broadband?

All to myself

I was also doing a large upload at the time.

That is disgusting.

Its not actually to my home sadly but to my colo

Been stuck with 512kbs for years, recently pushed them (BT) for an answer on when/if we would be upgraded...the answer....youll just have to wait. Poor service but fastest speed we can get here, and its not even running at 500~ hehe quite depressing seeing everyone with 2mg+ connections :X bad times.

486kbs down
241kbs up

so, what, 4 years on



Mustve spent at least a month on the phone to various ISP tech support, its so dissapointing I have to pay for this

not bad for a rural Northern town and one of Britain shoddiest ISPs

My new home Virgin Media connection:



Just swapped over from BeThere, and after a few teething problems is now running nicely

Good old rural internet. The speeds don't bother me, it's the constant drop-outs (the past few weeks I get 5 mins at best before the connection drops).

By contrast, this is what I get over Three's HSDPA network;





Been quite tempted to get rid of the landline lately. Only thing holding me back is data allowance, the maximum is 15GB for £15.99 a month. I'd want 25GB, minimum. I don't mind being charged £20-£25 for it, but any less and I'll wind up running over (Steam updates and downloads mostly, plus the odd video on iPlayer/4oD).

Thinkbroadband gives a similar reading but a higher upload speed (about 0.37Mbps).

All in all quite pleased with IDNet - was only getting about 1.3-1.7Mbps a year or so ago, and I consider anything above 1.5 to be good out here in the Herefordshire countryside. Have noticed that my SNR margin is quite low though (5.1dB) - I'm wondering if that could be improved.

Upload got upgraded in my area, used to be 1mb, gained an extra 1mb download too

[Krakkenbus]

[Ben Rogers]

Sync @ 8128kbps and still only get a shoddy speed to say the least - Pipex/Tiscali.

[foskee]

Feels so wrong after having >50MB connection

Wimax not bad ping & speed but keeps dropping out

[ShavedApe]

Gotta say tends to be a bit hit and miss depending on which server I use. London always good for me but the one speedtest.net recommends i get



Thats actually on of the better results from Manchester.
