Just tried mine in the office will try next doors in a mo when I get onto their wireless connection

I'm convinced that my modem isn't running at full speed. I've got it connected though the ethernet connection and since earlier this evening when it stopped working I used the problem solving software that came with it to rectify things and every since it's been running slow (like v56k modem)

Any suggestions?

YIK I have 4 connections available ATM from neighbours. Folks really should secure their connections. Ah well ... back to I tunes downloads on someone elses bandwidth

... Only kidding

But peeps should get wise to this as you pay for volume useage these days.

i got 5825 with an upload speed of 384 but is a busy time now i guess

That is scary - I was just checking mine!!!

These things are pretty inaccurate at times. We have just gone up to 20mb but NTL's proxy servers are playing up so surfing is still a pain!!!

It's surprising how much difference daytime usage makes.

Check the contention ratio of your asdl supplier to as this can make a big difference to the speed you actually experience. This could well explain why the speed changed from day to day. If you are on at peek times then you will be sharing ‘your’ bandwidth more people if the contention ratio is high. (And I don’t mean using your neighbours bandwith illegally!)

Still doesn't show my true speed - not bad though!!!

pmorgan · 09 May 2007, 21:35

For the record I get this in East London

Talk Talk have this weekend upgraded our local exchange and am getting an all together better speed. So I'm much happier with these guys for now.

Hightower · 24 June 2007, 23:10

OOh, Dublin's much faster

codprawn · 25 June 2007, 02:07

NTL is pretty good at the moment!!!

limeydal · 25 June 2007, 05:08

Not up to Codders standard but not bad!

Does rain slow the internet

codprawn · 25 June 2007, 11:08

Isn't it strange how Britain is supposed to be falling behind everyone on broadband - seems ourt speeds aren't so bad after all.

V666 what connection do you have - that's an awesome upload speed!!!

As I do a fair amount of work from home the upload is more important than the down load.

I'm a fair way from the exchange so it slows my download, but anything over 10000kbs wont make a lot of odds to me.

current actual spped is

Uptime: 2 days, 19:38:47
Bandwidth (Up/Down) [kbps/kbps]: 2,022 / 14,034
Data Transferred (Sent/Received) [GB/GB]: 13.91 / 1.27

and i'm with Be ( https://www.bethere.co.uk/ ) , so far had no problems at all and have only had one outage when they upgraded the exchange one night.

They use anex M (not common yet) to increase the upload speed, but that does lower the down load speed. Also means you need a router that can do anex M and like most companies they only supprot the router they supply. The one they do is a 4 port with wireless Speedtouch, so not too bad.
