Oh, & don't forget the crap email servers, the crap news servers, the crap proxies, the....

But yeah, the service isn't too bad (if you're lucky)



My results from just now (1Mb service, Cambridge)

RDHW's speed test:

1st 128K took 1078 ms = 121588 Bytes/sec = approx 1012 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 1063 ms = 123304 Bytes/sec = approx 1026 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 1047 ms = 125188 Bytes/sec = approx 1042 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 1078 ms = 121588 Bytes/sec = approx 1012 kbits/sec

Section 3: Download Speed Results
Three downloads are tested; one from one of your ISPs servers, one through your Transparent Cache and one through an alterntive cache. This will give you an idea of how capable your connection is. Note: You should take the highest download speed into account.

ntl:World - 1Mb service Server Download:
114KB/s (912Kb/s) - Average, though much higher should be achieved

Download through Transparent Cache:
118KB/s (944Kb/s) - Perfect - running at full speed!

Download through alternative Cache (cache4-brnt.server.ntli.net):
113KB/s (904Kb/s) - Average, though much higher should be achieved
