Nice results!

Got the highest upload speed from a speedtest on that server but a slower download. Worth remembering though :)

Re: Chalk and Cheese - Sky and Virgin Broadband

I just topped 19 upload from it now as well.

Awesome upload speed!

Finding the decent upload speed makes cloud based backups useable now.

Re: Chalk and Cheese - Sky and Virgin Broadband

I get good results to that Amsterdam server, as well

I think my upload speed has hit its limit. I'm currently hitting 1.7mb down via Utorrent. I'm hopeful I might actually hit 18mb!

Your download is maxed out. Your upload has plenty more margin but 1.3Mb is the limit on most services, it's an artificial cap.

You should be able to get 15-20Mbps download and >1.0Mbps upload on that line, potentially up to 1.5-2Mbps upload with annex M, if Sky offer that option.

Oh hey, I was spot on! :D

Apparently it lies.

No surprise it makes everyone's upload "look" faster if it inflates the numbers by 10-20%...

Incidentally the mobile app consistently returns higher figures too but the number of times I've seen it hit 25Mb/sec means its totally unreliable.

Hrmph, it's actually spot on for me, I wonder if your system clock is buggered:

Never seen it max out a 100Mb line before, time to test the gigabit methinks. Maximum I've ever got on the upload used to be 250Mb.
