It has a lot to do with your computer, eg the NIC.

Hi,

It seems that the age of my computer may be one of the reasons for the fluctuating speed test results. I was slightly happier getting the 6.17 earlier.

The NIC that I installed myself was done a few years ago, but I spoke to VM tech dept and told them I had a 32bit PCI 10/100M Ethernet Adapter, and they said that it would cope with the 10meg upgrade speed.

One thing I wanted to ask is their any configuration I could possible change in the network folder for this adapter than may help with the speeds. just a thought.

Thanks.

I'm receiving 10Mb the same on an seven year old system (long, :O) than the system I built four months ago, I'm sure your NIC is fine.
I'm using a Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC (It's super old, works fine)

Can someone please explain why I get terrific results from http://numion.com/
and yet not so good from http://www.speedtest.net/

The results I got from http://numion.com/ are as follows

Download speed: 9,025.08 (1,128.13) 100%
Upload speed: 491.32 (61.41) 100%
Surfspeed inside United Kingdom: 277.00 (34.62) 100%
Surfspeed average (worldwide): 133.06 (16.63) 83%
Surfspeed outside United Kingdom: 111.03 (13.87) 70%
Latency: 269 milliseconds

Speednet isn't that reliable, although this Numion site isn't exactly either.. xD

Download speed: 14,231.79 (1,778.97) 100%
Upload speed: 408.82 (51.10) 100%
Surfspeed inside United Kingdom: 114.46 (14.30) 100%

Well, still no luck this morning... I guess those 2.46 & 2.60 scores I had last night were just random bugs or something...

(I powered off the modem this morning, but no difference)

Rather than keep hammering the network, may I suggest folks just look in their modem to see what speed is set:

http://root:root@192.168.100.1/P_operation.htm

Note that Internet Explorer may well baulk at the username and password in the link. For details about how to stop this happening see:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/834489

Alternatively, just log into the modem and manually enter 'root' for both the username and password. Look under 'Operation Configuration' for the speed settings:

http://192.168.100.1/

I'm getting those random DL speeds again:

I believe it would be http://root:root@192.168.100.1/CmOpConfig.asp

iv never had very good speeds from speedtest.net
got one of my best results today on mybroadbandspeed.co.uk

[img]Download Failed (1)[/img]

still trying to work out which network setting gives best results

10/Half Duplex gives stable speed but can drop quite badly at busy times of day
Auto results in 100/dont know the duplex, that gives good general results and fast loading webpages
but can be a bit unstable and sometimes doesn't hit top speed

if anyones interested iv found the amount before throttle is 1750mb after 4pm in my area, 1gb better than the official limit

Can I ask which speed you are meant to be on, 10 or 20meg?

DES_1001 · 10-05-2009, 19:50

looking at the modem config page where does it say what the speed is set at?
i must be old because i can't find it lol

I'm confused! is this thread about the free Upgrade for present 2MB users up to 10MB or is it about the 50MB service or the 20MB service or a general Speedtest thread?.

Seeing as the title clearly is about the free upgrade I would be grateful if you all got back on that topic.There are plenty of other threads discussing the other topics.If not you can always start one.
