Live in Gloucester the past 3weeks the speeds just get worse and worse. Ping times, packetloss is the worst download speeds are reasonable and i can live with that personally i rather stick to 470kb/sec instead of a measly 145lb/sec max on 10mb, i just ran a speed test using Dan Elwells test and these are my results:

Speed Test Report 06/01/02 22:16 - Quick test
Test conducted at: 02/01/2006 22:16:00
Test sequence: Quick test
Please note that these results are a snapshot of this particular moment. Run the test a few times to ensure maximum accuracy. Although the test has been constructed to be highly accurate, no guarantees can be made to the level of accuracy experienced in everyday use.
Test 1: Ping times to UK servers
Ideally, you should get a result of around 30 ms (lower is better)
worcester.ac.uk: 217.7 ms
vantage.myby.co.uk: 191.5 ms
f2s.com: 182.8 ms
This result shows serious problems with your ping times, and should be investigated.
Test 2: Ping times to European servers
Ideally, you should get a result of around 50 ms (lower is better)
club-internet.fr: 183.5 ms
lycos.es: 271 ms
univ-rennes1.fr: 158 ms
This result shows serious problems with your ping times, and should be investigated.
Test 3: Ping times to east-coast USA servers
Ideally, you should get a result of around 120 ms (lower is better)
internet2.edu: 269.5 ms
mirror.nocservices.com: 264 ms
internet2.edu: 276.7 ms
This result shows serious problems with your ping times, and should be investigated.
Test 4: Ping times to west-coast USA servers
Ideally, you should get a result of around 160 ms (lower is better)
redhat.netnitco.net: 367 ms
mirror.ats.ucla.edu: This test failed due to a server timeout or other error.
redhat.netnitco.net: 369.7 ms
This result is much poorer than expected and should be investigated.
Test 5: Download speeds from UK servers
Ideally, you should get a result of around 1000 Kb/s (higher is better)
apache.mirror.positive-internet.com: This test failed due to a server timeout or other error.
Too many server errors occurred therefore this test is inconclusive.
Test 6: Upload speeds to the Speed Test Server
Ideally, you should get a result of around 358 Kb/s (higher is better)
broadbandspeedtest.net: 261 Kb/s
This result is much poorer than expected and should be investigated.
Test 7: Packet loss en route to a UK server
Ideally, you should get a result of around 0 % (lower is better)
zeniiia.linux.org.uk: 8 %
swansea.ac.uk: 0 %
A small amount of packet loss has been detected. This should be investigated.
End of testing.

I know you peeps are gonna ask about virus scanning, spyware, adware etc and i can tell you my PC is clean and upto date in all my software, harware
