Re: 50mb Broadband - Post Your Speed & Vote
I get some silly results from the speedtest site, despite clearing my cache and rerunning it several times.



But the old image in my signature is accurate, I get full speed when downloading from local sources and newsgroups.

Re: 50mb Broadband - Post Your Speed & Vote


Upload speeds have been a little strange recently, sometimes only reaching 0.70Mb/s. I did turn the QoS off in the router settings and tried again, i got over 1.0Mb/s after that, not sure if that was a coincidence or not.

Have you contacted VM and what have they said is the issue, some good people on this forum that can get things flagged and sorted ASAP.
