Thinkbroadband speed test improved
I have long complained about Thinkbroadband's speedtest because of its inaccurate measurements for VM. They told me this was because of the poor connection to the VM provided for them by VM. There seems to be an improvement, at least up to 50Mb.

I now get a consistent 46Mb from their tester, compared with <20Mb previously. Why is this good news? Well, the reason for my complaint was that VM was always poorly represented in the speed leagues and on their broadband maps. Now we have a chance, if we are so inclined, to redress the balance by getting in a few good tests and boost VM's stats. After all, TBB is used for information by prospective ISP customers. I hated seeing VM outstripped by BT sats!!

Here you can see that I have been busy putting the record right! TBB Map
