Broadband performance (RG12)
 

Hi,
I ran a quick test on Robin Walkers site, and it seems to show that I have got a rather slow connection I think... ( I'm on the 3Mb service).

Details pasted here....

1st 128K took 703 ms = 186447 Bytes/sec = approx 1551 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 484 ms = 270810 Bytes/sec = approx 2253 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 406 ms = 322837 Bytes/sec = approx 2686 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 407 ms = 322044 Bytes/sec = approx 2679 kbits/sec

Anyone else have a slowish service in the Bracknell area?

Should I be phoning NTL?

Thanks

Yup i'm in Bracknell on a 3mb,and my gaming is suffering...ping all over the place and i've done a few speed tests and they are very erratic,sometimes good then a couple of secs later they are way down:shocked:

No problem here (RG12)... bear in mind however that this is peak time for usage, you may well find a lot of people hitting the p2p networks at the moment.

a buddy of mine in rg12 had a loss of service tuesday night and since then its been very poor.

Damn P2P they should try and do something about banning that... Perhaps blocking the ports it used...

This is what I got at RG10 just now:

I must admit I have had to start playing around with proxy settings - first time in almost 2 years, in order to get pages to load in a reasonable time. I work from home at actually find mid morning the worse at the moment...
