Hooray! for NTL 10mb.....

1st 512K took 6437 ms = 79.5 KB/sec, approx 655 Kbps, 0.64 Mbps
2nd 512K took 4000 ms = 128 KB/sec, approx 1055 Kbps, 1.03 Mbps
3rd 512K took 3750 ms = 136.5 KB/sec, approx 1125 Kbps, 1.1 Mbps
4th 512K took 3344 ms = 153.1 KB/sec, approx 1262 Kbps, 1.23 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 1024 Kbps, 1 Mbps

To repeat this test from the source server (and further depress yourself at the thought of how much you are paying for a "service") click here.

Fu**ing astounding!! Does anyone know any other ways of throwing money down the drain?


The name is Angry....Mr Angry.

Re: Hooray! for NTL 10mb.....
I tend to stay away from web based speed tests as the file is so small you don't really get a true speed test.
Sun, 19 Nov 2006 17:50:18 GMT

1st 512K took 3141 ms = 163 KB/sec, approx 1343 Kbps, 1.31 Mbps
2nd 512K took 3031 ms = 168.9 KB/sec, approx 1392 Kbps, 1.36 Mbps
3rd 512K took 2641 ms = 193.9 KB/sec, approx 1598 Kbps, 1.56 Mbps
4th 512K took 3281 ms = 156 KB/sec, approx 1285 Kbps, 1.25 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 1405 Kbps, 1.37 Mbps

Same as yours my friend and using the Entanet network.
Give this a try and let us know your speed please.

Re: Hooray! for NTL 10mb.....
Great find dranny.
If I must use a web based test I use
http://www.adslguide.org.uk/tools/speedtest.asp
or
http://www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk/

Still trying to find a good true download test, apologies.

How about NTL pull their thumb from their rears and stop having a right handed session and actually sort the network out, before they think about higher speeds.
