Test 2: 1024K took 8183 ms = 125.1 KB/sec, approx 1031 Kbps, 1.01 Mbps
Test 3: 1024K took 9553 ms = 107.2 KB/sec, approx 883 Kbps, 0.86 Mbps
Test 4: 2048K took 21567 ms = 95 KB/sec, approx 783 Kbps, 0.76 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 839 Kbps, 0.82 Mbps

Edit: I don't live far from the exchange at all.

Guess I'll just have to switch to my VM connection if I want the speed because I know I can rely on a consistent overall speed.
Well that's better, at least your putting forward some reasons for your opinion rather than silly one line put downs. But what would you say if I posted my statistics (which happen to be very good) and used that as evidence that Sky broadband is excellent? You have to look at the bigger picture.

And as I've already said that is factually incorrect. Read through the thread. TBR has consistently provided reasons for his opinion. This is the first time you've posted anything remotely resembling a coherent argument. You can't just post one line statements such as 'it really is pants' and not expect people to question you on it (well I suppose you can as you're part owner of this forum but you'll just end up looking rather silly).
