Is this a good 30M speed test result?

[Nopanic]

I would say so yes.

[jb66]

Yes

[ultimate]

I just upgraded to 30M last week, in some speed test sites, e.g. speedtest.net, it is giving me 50M download, while this forum's speed test is giving me 36m, can this be right? In RS, I can download at more than 7Mbit/s, that is more than 50M, how can that be?

Have you tried this site?

Just been into the site you suggested and got this:

Go into your router and see what the config file is. My 30Mb XL package shows this...

Primary Downstream Service Flow
Downstream(0)
SFID 57544
Max Traffic Rate 33330000 bps
Max Traffic Burst 3044 bytes
Mix Traffic Rate 0 bps

Are you sure your not on the new 60Mb service? As my download speed maxes out at 3970.8 KB/sec

I hope this is what you are looking for, this is from the SuperHub

I am sure I am only on the 30M, my upload is not at 5mb, its at 3M

Your on the new 60Mb service, many uploads have not been upgraded yet.

[ultimate]

Oh !! Thanks for letting me know, cos I asked for 30M when I phoned them and according to the double your speed roll out, my area won't be ready until July!!

[v0id]

It's good, not great

[qasdfdsaq]

For 60mb it's rubbish.

[ultimate]

As I said before, when I download from RS, my speed is up to 7 or 8 mbit, I am happy with that, speed testing website are useful by not showing the real speed due to various factors.

[qasdfdsaq]

7 or 8 mbit on a 60mbit connection?!

[ultimate]

Sorry MByte

[gouldy]

Try the London namesco server as IMO speednet has gone proper crap on most servers

[ultimate]

If you are talking about the BBmax speed tester, the results are as follows:

Download Speed: 52335 kbps (6541.9 KB/sec ) Upload Speed: 2892 kbps (361.5 KB/sec )

[gouldy]

I'm on my phone ATM so no links

Go to speednet then select the London server but there is 2 or 3, you want the namesco one, then post the results

[qasdfdsaq]

The Lancaster server is much better than Namesco.

[gouldy]

The Lancaster server is much better than Namesco.

yeah your deffo right, tbh i was using the Leeds one lately, but just tried the Leeds and the namesco, and both got around 80mb (i assumed it was just peak time, as they usually max me out) but the Lancaster topped out at 100mb:tu:

Is this a true reading?. I'm not due for the upgrade untill July onwards

I would say for 30mb it's fantastic ;) its very good for a 100mb line too.

noone is due for the upgrade until then onwards, looks like your firewall is playing about with your traffic, do another test with it disabled ;)

also, look at your max speed in the config, that will put it straight :)

[Zee]

This site always gives me correct readings

http://www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk

[craigj2k12]

that one always gived me crap readings, it does a 2 second download speed test, highly inaccurate

[thenry]

yeah that testers too quick. they all suck. do a manual test downloading files from decent servers and then uploading files

[craigj2k12]

speedtest.net has never let me down although other people say its crap

[Nopanic]

noone is due for the upgrade until then onwards,

Really .. :D

[craigj2k12]

Really .. :D

unless you include the smart arses who can provision whatever speeds they want :D

I think I misunderstood, are you saying all uplifts don't start till July ?

[craigj2k12]

I think I misunderstood, are you saying all uplifts don't start till July ?

i was talking about the 120 upgrades, they dont start till around that time

I just had my superhub arrive yesterday, so been using this to test this morning. Looks like it is dependant on which server you test on: If I test from Coventry or Derby, it shows that I am getting about 12M, but using the Birmingham server shows my speed as just under 50M.

[craigj2k12]

obviously different servers will have different capacity pipes, but the actual flash tester I find to be the most accurate
