Seems odd - Liverpool Area
 

So it's been hit and miss in the liverpool area this last few days and now this?

My speeds have been great today, downloading has been fast, almost too fast.

So I have a few minutes and do some speed test. Are we now on 50meg?

61267kbps


Edit sorry forgot about the link.

I just downloaded a 700mb file in less time than it took to go and get another beer!

Strange that the upload speed is around the norm for the 20Mb service...

Probably cached data tbh

Yes the upload is the same, but the doanload speed on files here is so fast.

Here is the london server, which is always a higher ping and half the speed than Maidenhead for me.

got any accurate download info in kilobytes per second (non-burst, after you've been download for a bit) from usenet or multiple HTTP servers?

Looks normal right now over a secure NNTP server

I have a few odd bursts like that on speedtest.net also, it can't really be construde as an accurate measurement of bandwidth.
