Re: Plusnet are the king of fastest broadband in UK
 

I didn't say it was fastest just faster than trollcable's claim.

I'm sure it should be possible to get way faster than that BT as well altho speedtest might struggle with faster connections.

Re: Plusnet are the king of fastest broadband in UK
 

Yeah, it took me about 40 minutes of fudging about and optimizing to get it up from the ~450Mbps earlier to the 1.2Gbps you see in that one :P Have to say even on a 4Ghz machine Flash and the browser used are both becoming big bottlenecks. Oddly enough in Firefox the test only returned ~250Mbps, in Chrome it'd go up to 500Mbps, yet in IE it did >1Gbps. I'm not even sure what that last one means! ---------- Post added at 23:37 ---------- Previous post was at 23:36 ---------- Ah, sorry I thought you meant yours was way quicker than my BT connection :p:

Re: Plusnet are the king of fastest broadband in UK
 

I do agree, I thought it was because of my ad blocker on Chrome but on IE without it I get the best results

No not as fast as any of yours but as soon as 1Gbps is available to me I'll be bonding them ha!

If you have linux you can do it without using flash, like I did from my server

https://github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli

./speedtest-cli --list (will list all the speed test servers)
./speedtest-cli --server 3681 --share (use selected server and generate share link)

Knew flash was a resource hog but surprises me it a 4Ghz machine struggles.

It's possible to find and change the values in memory of flash programs quite easily, so I would expect it's easy to change the result the speedtest flash posts to the server to record. Not tried but if it works that way, probably easier to sniff the network traffic and make your own submission thinking about it.

Can't help it, mind is always thinking of vulnerabilities in web page implementations :p:

Btw, try faking your x-forwarded-for when you visit speedtest.net ;)

If I had the slightly idea what you were on about. I would :erm:

Re: Plusnet are the king of fastest broadband in UK
 

You are right as virgin media don't sell 100/10 anymore. They say I would get 100/6 instead. So, I change the order to have 152/12 instead. They going to sent me superhub 2 in the post and can activated it online myself. No need engineer tech guy. They offer me 152/12 for 28 for 12 months

Re: Plusnet are the king of fastest broadband in UK
 

:blah: Do I really need to find the link for the thread where you said you'll never ever go back to VM and list all the reasons why

Re: Plusnet are the king of fastest broadband in UK
 

I find it hard to believe they would offer what amounts to a new customer discounts like that.

Re: Plusnet are the king of fastest broadband in UK
 

That is because the OPs posts and reality are rarely convergent.....

Re: Plusnet are the king of fastest broadband in UK
 

yup, and the amazing thing is that he has chosen to go for 152mbits after he has allegedly had it in the past and said it was rubbish, could never get top speed and VM is congested

Re: Plusnet are the king of fastest broadband in UK
 

MSI offer this kind of software for free.

Re: Plusnet are the king of fastest broadband in UK
 

It's fresh enough for us all to remember him saying that :)

Re: Plusnet are the king of fastest broadband in UK
 

I never have or ever will believe a word of any post he makes. His sole intension here is to wind up and he gets away with with he lies even when he it is proven he lied

Re: Plusnet are the king of fastest broadband in UK
 

I am slightly baffled also. I pay £39 for mine. Maybe I need to man up and ring up? :erm:

Re: Plusnet are the king of fastest broadband in UK
 

Trust me dont believe a word he says.
