I just changed my package to include SkySports, so when I was on I asked them when my area (bradford) was likley to get it.

She found out for me, and said Yorkshire is due to be upgraded by 20th Dec, but probably not before.

WooHoo got my 10 meg service today. It's not on the blueyonder showcase website as completed yet and I hope thats why I'm not getting my ten meg top speeds yet. Most I've had is 1.02mb/s about 8.14Mb. And my upload is not at full blow either. I have always had my full speed with my 2 meg service and after seeing some of the people's ten meg speeds on Cable Forum I'd like to have the same. Do you think because it hasn't been put up as completed that I might be having teething problems? I've only been in the door for like 25 minutes so I've not really had the chance to test it properly. Are these sites recommended for speed tests and is there any more?

Whats your fastest speed Andymt?

andymt · 21-10-2005, 20:07

if downloading from a REALLY fast server, ie my friends dedi, hosted in UK with a dedicated 100mbps connection,
i might hit 1.6mbps as a burst on internet explorer and then settle at about 1.15mbps or maybe 1.2 if it is off peak (but this is extremely rare) (usually much less) but it shows at least that the problem aint my connection, but due to the nature of the internet. if i can hit 1.6mbps as a burst my connection has nothing wrong!!

however with firefox the burst seems to start at 7mbps or more!!
lol downloading from bog standard crammed us server id be lucky to hit 300kbps!
speed tests give me wierd results-from 2mps to 8mbps.
if u wanna test burst speed-use this (from friends dedi server)
http://andymt.co.uk/divx.exe

lol visit http://andymt.co.uk whilst yr at it.
if u wanna test a bit of streaming, go to http://andymt.co.uk/test.avi
or, if u wanna download a 4.5 mb file from the fastest server in the UK, go to
http://uk.clook.net/ (beware it goes in a flash)
make sure u try all these downloads at off peak times (prefferably middle of night) and close all applications like limewire, msn, bittorrent etc...
oh yeh, http://www.broadbandspeedtest.net/ is good if you think your broadband connection might be slow, it identifies problems with speed and configuration and gives you some technical things to tell telewest should you need to ring them.
hope this helps

oh yeh and upload speeds?

uploadin to that fast dedi server i mentioned i usually get about 44kbps (quite good i think)
and on upload speed tests i always get around 380kbps (excellent)

I believe the burst in IE or firefox is because as soon as you do "save as" it starts downloading right away. Once you've selected the filename and pressed save it continues downloading from where it has reached, and that skews the KB per second reading - this levels out after a while.

We got our 10Mb last night at 1am. This morning it was doing 9000Kbps on the adslguide speedtest, but since then it's gone down to as low as 1.5Mb and peaking at about 3Mb (I tried lots of times). Hope it's a hiccup!

Chrysalis · 22-10-2005, 04:19

opera and firefox will start with very high bursts if you take a long time to choose where to put the file, if I wanted to I could do a screenshot now of opera showing me on 10mbit speeds

Hey hey. This all seems more stable today. As i said before it might be because it isn't showing up as completed on the Blueyonder Showcase page so it might be still getting tweaked and sorted for Edinburgh at the moment.

As in burst speeds on that link you gave me Andymt (thankyou =D) I got 1.20mb/s but It was rising when downloading but 6-7 seconds wasn't long enough to get a true reading. Any chance of maybe asking your friend to put a bigger file on just for a few days? Sorry for asking but it's the fastest download I've seen so far unless anyone else knows differently?. I'm getting between 7.6 to 8.35 Mb as my line speed today but yesterday I was getting from 2 - 8 meg but it was mostly 5 meg and under. Thats why I'm thinking that Telewest are still sorting it and it's not showing up as completed on there page. I know you said it was the fastest I'll get Andymt bu't my lines changed again overnight and my uploads have went from 17.5 kb/s to 39 kb/s. I'll wait till it comes up completed before making too many judgements just now. When it is completed I will phone up Telewest to find out everything as Telewest have always gave me full speeds (253 kb/s downstream with my 2 meg line with 30.4 kb/s upstream) I do want faster because of seeing other people's speeds but I'll be happy if this is the end result as I'm not far off it and by your true speeds (after bursts) Andymt I'm not that much different.

It's quite funny as my 2 friends are on Bulldog 8meg and UK Online 8 meg and they only get 750kb/s Downstream (Bulldog plus less than 1/4 mile from exchange) and 850kb/s Downstream (UK Online same distance but in Brummieland)

Just a wait for the completed rollout over Edinburgh now!

Thanks again Andymt for that link

ok what ive done is put that 40mb stream avi file into a html page so-
right click,save target as and it'll download. its 40mb so it should last a little longer. now is the time i wish i had 1mb up!!

oh yeh and if u aren't already use ie as its more accurate if u wanna judge speeds!

Andy with that test file I got between 350K and 850K sec fluctuating,

however downloading from blueyonder servers gets a better speed (and constant) ^^

I was downloading pcguard from the following address:

http://www.blueyonder.co.uk/blueyond...guard_download

andymt · 22-10-2005, 10:19

yeh that file is fast...

hmmm on the file i gave i get fast speeds... forefox is innacurate however as it downloads file whilst you select the loaction.

[img]Download Failed (1)[/img]
same server but faster speeds on smaller file?? LOL

yeh yr right.. the other file seems to be slower:
[img]Download Failed (1)[/img]
and you are correct the blueyonder pcguard install file downloads very fast.
however 973kbps is still fine for a 10mb connection. lol only 27kbps away from 1mbps

if i get 360K with the 3mb, you should be getting around 1200Kps with 10mb connection... I cant wait for manchester to get it!... btw, what upload speeds u getting?
