Your broadband speed - post here

Virgin 150 MB

Have seen better than this before.

[liamy321]

Get around 90Mb/s on my 100Mb Virgin line through my cheap 100Mb switch.. direct I can get nearly 110!

4G from 3 while we wait to move in to our new house:

Finally in the new house, 152mbps service from Virgin, this test was done via wifi on the rather congested 2.4GHz band: my laptop claims to be syncing at 72mbps....



So I'll take that I'll add a wired test at some point in the future for reference

s'alright, I suppose. Just wish it didn't have the random dropouts on a morning (it's annoying trying to watch the news on iPlayer when it drops a chunk of packets between 6 and 8 in the morning, but seems to be fine the rest of the time)

[Marenghi]

on 100mb, interesting that the server furthest away (London) gives me the highest speed and the closest gives me the slowest speed

[LiverpoolsNo9]

Getting 72 down and 12 up on talktalk in southampton area at the moment. Wishing I had some of your numbers.

My wife's laptop keeps having inexplicable wireless network dropouts, so tonight I'm using it, via a WTG Win 8 USB stick to check against software problems, and decided to do a speedtest check while I was online anyway.



So, when it connects properly there's nothing wrong with the WiFi

Here it's mine

My most recent test:

Just a shame I don't actually see those speeds in anything I do...

Running it on my linode is funny. I think when you get over 2Gbit/s, it kind of falls over and doesn't give a result - the png graphic is empty!

When it goes under 2Gbit/s, it's OK

However, it's clearly not always your ISP that's the bottleneck. Some servers on speedtest are criminally slow! For example:

[gupsterg]

TalkTalk SimplyBroadband

Tested over WiFi, router state ADSL connection (Down/Up stream) : 12394(Kbps) / 1020(Kbps)

[probedb]

PlusNet Fibre 40/20 unlimited. Tested on PC wired to router. Stock PlusNet router.



That's where I'm living now....a village.

The result below is in Sheffield, a decent suburb where I can't get fibre...go figure

[Professor Frink]

Usually get about 150Mb but the connection went a little mad the other week.

[frownbreaker]

I get 74mbs down and 16mbs up on Plusnet Fibre (VDSL via BT). It is much faster than my Virgin media connection (Shaping etc)

[flearider]

ee 75/20 really cant beat em ..

[silent]

not to shabby over wireless.
