Re: Internet speed test
 

The trouble with that speedtest is that the speed list is wrong for NTL (I've reported it and he said he'd sort it...) and you can't save the results (not even copy n paste) without registering. I donated a £5 for the original speedtest, without restrictions, and now he wants £10 to register the new version to unlock it. It's all gone to his head :rolleyes:

My system does alright in the speedtest - no mention of dial-up anyway :)

Mine is somewhat wrong for a 2 meg connection, the download looks ok but the upload sucks, it's fine if I upload stuff via FTP mind.

Your PC is connected to a Cable/DSL modem
Information: Other network traffic is congesting the link

I wouldn't even bother using speed tests that aren't local(ish) to yourselves.

This one appears to be far more accurate:

Your line speed:

1813.3 Kbps

222.2 K bytes/sec

Though it doesn't test upload.

The slowest link in the end-to-end path is a 100 Mbps Half duplex Fast Ethernet subnet

Damn that 100Mbps Half duplex :D
