Firstly - the CableForum Speedtest

Test 1: 1024K took 5531 ms = 185.1 KB/sec, approx 1525 Kbps, 1.49 Mbps
Test 2: 1024K took 7688 ms = 133.2 KB/sec, approx 1098 Kbps, 1.07 Mbps
Test 3: 1024K took 5422 ms = 188.9 KB/sec, approx 1557 Kbps, 1.52 Mbps
Test 4: 2048K took 11015 ms = 185.9 KB/sec, approx 1532 Kbps, 1.5 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 1428 Kbps, 1.4 Mbps

Now - www.speedtest.net



Looks like that old Virgin network is slowing us Sky subscribers down again.
Or the fact that Sky BB is just crap anyway and unreliable - I've done both tests the speed for both is practically the same...
