yeh yr right.. the other file seems to be slower:

and you are correct the blueyonder pcguard install file downloads very fast.
however 973kbps is still fine for a 10mb connection. lol only 27kbps away from 1mbps

None of those speeds are valid dude you need to let it settle down which you won't get out of 1 second of download :(

BY 2Mbit was capped at 2148kbps, not 2048kbps.

Won't see full 1200k out of 10Mbit due to overheads, receive windows and other wonderful esoteric stuff.

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed

better tests are ftp of a linux mirror or something. Much more accurate and outside blueyonder's network.

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed

My connection is less than a 512 line now!!!!! I must have been right about the connection getting tweaked and sorted before as it's still not showing as completed in the http://www.blueyonder.co.uk/blueyond...bbs_evenfaster webpage. Hopefully soon I can get to use my net. I'm in a Call Of Duty clan and play Pro Evolution 4 Online and I can't play at all the now :'( Boo bleeping hoo. 40kb/s download speed im getting on ADSL speed test with 17.6kb/s uploads. But when trying Andymt's 40 meg file im still getting 200 - 400 kb/s and with PC Guard on blueyonder page I'm getting 257kb/s. It's all gone pete tong!!!!!! Only one week to go till completion hopefully
