My connection (L) went from 4 to 10 a few months ago. I was actually getting around 8 and was happy ...
These past few days I am getting this :

Fri, 01 Aug 2008 17:45:53 GMT

Test 1: 1024K took 1319 ms = 776.3 KB/sec, approx 6397 Kbps, 6.25 Mbps
Test 2: 1024K took 1176 ms = 870.7 KB/sec, approx 7175 Kbps, 7.01 Mbps
Test 3: 1024K took 1356 ms = 755.2 KB/sec, approx 6223 Kbps, 6.08 Mbps
Test 4: 2048K took 2607 ms = 785.6 KB/sec, approx 6473 Kbps, 6.32 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 6567 Kbps, 6.42 Mbps


Yet at Speedtest.net (which has always been consistent ) I am getting less than 1mb ??

A call to tech support maybe ?

speedtest.net maidenhead server can give falsely low readings when it's busy.

Either try the Dublin server or choose London or Dublin at http://myspeed.visualware.com/

This gives a more detailed analysis as well...

Still on 4mb after reboot. Knew i would be. I have a feeling we'll be weeks away from the upgrade in ST.

you know what newsgroups is?

I looked at my modem config when I turned it on earlier and it still says 4Mb.

Yes thank you, I also know that using them to test your speed doesn't give you details of:

Quality of Service
TCP Forced Idle
Maximum Download Pause
Average Download Pause
Minimum Round Trip Time To Server
Average Round Trip Time To Server

and a Transfer Speed / Delay vs Time plot.

myspeed does...

If you don't happen to use newsgroups then a simple speed test (or downloading large files from ftp://ftp.blueyonder.co.uk/ ) is easier...

myspeed isn't exactly accurate though. nor is any other "online speed test" ...

Mine to Mentalis it looks like Warrington hasn't had the upgrade yet.
