Have you tried going to this link to check your speeds http://gamefiles.virginmedia.com/
click on blueyondergames>demos>then click on at least 2 large files and run them wait a couple of minutes then write down the transfer rates on the files that are running> times them by 8 and you will get a truer download speed. |
Some days (6 in 85) the net is running at 21meg on that checker but most of the time its slug mail I have tried using the Y-B-Y and the larger files "Timed Out" the same goes for the two game files down load. Its not only the slowness of the net its the high error rate using the engineering site to down load a 10meg zoneplate image the number of errors make it unusable, the same is true if I thy to have net radio or video, this time last year all this was possible.
Just tested on
www.speedtest.bbmax and got the following:
Download Speed 339 kbps (42.4 KB/sec)
Upload Speed 350 kbps (43.8 KB/sec)
Link to result:

this is not 10meg any more or even the 1meg of five years ago
