BT Infinity Speed Checker
 

Is it accurate?

The standard BT broadband speed checker tells me I can get up to 4.4mb but I barely get 2mb.

The Infinity checker tells me i can get 27.1mb, is this accurate or am I likely to get less?

Re: BT Infinity Speed Checker
 

The 27.1mb is an estimate, you will likely receive a higher speed. For example, I checked the other day, (even though I have the service and it states I should get 25mb, but I actually get just over 30mb).

I find the BT checker to be generally accurate (and a conservative underestimate in most cases) but obviously it varies and it doesn't seem to be that way for you.

Well I went for it. Getting Infinity installed on Wednesday.

Gotta be better than this

when my mate was testing it for BT before it was rolled out he was one of the lucky ones in Whitchurch in Cardiff. He was getting around 36mb down and around 6mb up.

BT Infinity is going to be avilable in my area for ages yet but I love my VM 30Mb/3Mb

Re: BT Infinity Speed Checker
 

BT Infinity is available at my home and gives me a whopping 12Mb/4Mb...

Meh

Re: BT Infinity Speed Checker
 

better than your 50Mb/5mb then weesteev, what you waiting for lol

Re: BT Infinity Speed Checker
 

Haha, although not quite as good as both my 50Mb's running on a load balancing router :-)

Infinity is a solid product if you live enar a nodal cabinet, but if you live near the end of the line then its really not a massive speed increase over ADSL2+. My DSL line pumps out 9Mb so not a massive difference.

Re: BT Infinity Speed Checker
 

Before Infinity I was getting around 1 to 1.5mb, I now get 30mb down and 7.5/8mb up

Re: BT Infinity Speed Checker
 

Well a swift and painless install and a pretty large speed increase

It would be interesting to see how it performs on the TBB ping monitor

probably better than a virgin media line

Re: BT Infinity Speed Checker
 

There's only one way to find out, but there doesn't appear to be any takers.

Re: BT Infinity Speed Checker
 

someone posted a ttb ping monitor onto the thread in the internet service forum

it was green with a nearly smooth top
