Re: [Merged] Broadband's faster future BBC check on Virgin Media Trials

It was the BBC speed test which was the problem. There is always a weakest link from a to b in the internet and this time it was the BBC. The 50 Mbps trials have been sound. I performed this test earlier in the week and done it under 3 seconds but that was before the hype that the BBC generated.

In any case a 10 MB file is far to small to test 50 Mbps.

I work that out to be about 16Mb/s
