This was abit better but not much.


Test 1: 2048K took 5570 ms = 367.7 KB/sec, approx 2942 Kbps, 2.87 Mbps
Test 2: 2048K took 3310 ms = 618.7 KB/sec, approx 4950 Kbps, 4.83 Mbps
Test 3: 2048K took 4785 ms = 428 KB/sec, approx 3424 Kbps, 3.34 Mbps
Test 4: 4096K took 11475 ms = 357 KB/sec, approx 2856 Kbps, 2.79 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 3543 Kbps, 3.46 Mbps
Amazingly high ping! Are you sure your computer, or other assets on your network, weren't doing something else at the time?

Rock solid as always. Must say though that since they did a 5mb upload trial here and took it off again, my upload has dropped from 1.68 down to 1.45. Roll on return of the 5mb

That was actually one of my better pings. Others were 650+. Nothing else was happening as far as I know, but things look better today. These results are as good as I've ever got, even though they're still short of 50meg.

That is more like it. If you get those high pings again try a tracert to see where the high ping is being accumulated? If it is the first step (possibly 192.168.1.1) then the problem is at your end. I would be surprised it it is across the whole network.

and this one correct here:

Re: 50mb Broadband - Post Your Speed & Vote

The TBB tester supports upwards of 200Mbps without issues.

Lack of capacity on the route between you and the server.

I disagree. I have never had a result above 34Mb on TBB either with my 50Mb or trial 200Mb connection. Usually it is far less. (Don't ask for more details, 'cos I ain't telling. We all know the trials exists don't we.)

TBB acknowledge that there are issues with the VM network and their test servers.

eg

Here is a TBB test result done just now on my 200Mb connection. It is way, way, way below what I get on the reliable trial test server. (Can't show you that either.) The up speed result is also inaccurate.
