Bit longer than 3 weeks closer to 6 now I think.

Customer services says that they will eventually automatically upgrade everybodies accounts but it may take until the end of the year to do it. This is because they have so many customers and they are getting so many new ones each day.
What ********, is there one person individually doing the upgrades one account at a time?

Good Website for cable users...... http://www.asdlguide.org.uk/
Nah it's not a very good site for cable users at all, as its' name ADSLGuide suggests it's mostly centred around DSL ISPs.


Yep IMHO a far superior test to Robin Walker's, by his own admission it's just a quick test he put together though some evangelise over it.

Also worth checking for transatlantic speeds are the tests at http://www.broadbandreports.com/stest just be careful which test server you use as some will give very poor results. Personally I find the Burlington Canada based one at http://speedtest.cogeco.net is pretty good.

Your download speed : 1893810 bps, or 1849 kbps.
A 231.1 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 256508 bps, or 250 kbps.

Which is about right.
