Broadband Speed Test Results
Results from broadband speed test recorded on Thursday, 15 June 2006, 01:11.

Your Connection
Speed Test Results

Downstream 5,330.7 Kbps ( = 5.2 Mbps )
Upstream 325.8 Kbps ( = 0.3 Mbps )

Upstream has always been good - I'm conducting these remotely, using vnc. I've turned off all images within internetexplorer, so it's only updating my screen with the text changes. I've disabled the wireless side to my router, so we know it's not someone wireless hacking and stealing bandwidth.

1.5 megabits per second - On bandwidthplace.com, selected cable and the uk, so should be using all the correct servers etc... I think this result is a little off tho. Further testing... going to do the old sp2 from M$... brb

Right, well I'm certain that I'm not getting all my bandwidth that I should be. the only test I havent done is to disconnect the tv box from the cable line and remove a splitter which is in the house. I'll connect the macbook via ethernet directly to the cable modem at the first point of entry into the house to ensure it's nothing router / cabling ala dsl style.

Although benchmarks tonight have shown a bad upload for me, they really have been much better, usually the full 60kb/sec upload so I'm not sure if that's a transient blip or what.

I know my speeds are still higher than the average UK household, and webpages since the DNS issues of recent have been fast so it's not major. I just want what I pay for, otherwise I'll be migrating or downgrading.

Thanks guys, you've given me a lot more to be working on. Thanks!
