It's interesting to see these results as I'm currently trialing Netvigator.
I have to say that I am initialy dissapointed with the speed, at certain times it is as fast as expected (for 512Kb option) but then it can drop to very slow and it seems to slow down quite regularly.
During the first 24hrs I recorded the following results;
13/9 - am
Direction Actual Speed True Speed (estimated)
Downstream 287 Kbps (58.4 KB/sec) 305 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream 227 Kbps (28.4 KB/sec) 245 Kbps (inc. overheads)
pm
Direction Actual Speed True Speed (estimated)
Downstream 93 Kbps (58.4 KB/sec) 120 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream 227 Kbps (28.4 KB/sec) 245 Kbps (inc. overheads)
14/9 11:30
Direction Actual Speed True Speed (estimated)
Downstream 467 Kbps (58.4 KB/sec) 504 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream 227 Kbps (28.4 KB/sec) 245 Kbps (inc. overheads)
14/9 12:40
Direction Actual Speed True Speed (estimated)
Downstream 160 Kbps (20.0 KB/sec) 172 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream 152 Kbps (19.0 KB/sec) 164 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Even for the slow speeds the signal strength & quality were maximum, so I assume this is down to high demand at certain times as netvigator is a shared/contended service.
Here's their quote "This is because netvigator is a shared service and therefore throughput may differ when many people are using the network simultaneously. This is typical for any contended broadband network.
I think I will be cancelling before the end of the free month!
