Nah, the fault came from the Leeds Area :P

Just downloading world of warcraft!.

Getting Mega speeds even at Peak

[23prince]

Holy shizz!

I get 9 on FTTC lol - No way are you getting 650mbps. Must be a glitch but looks good!

[jalzoo]

Don't know if it has something to do with the installer but it was averaging 55mb/s and peaked at 65.

I am truly gob smacked by that. I know the installer can get direct from Blizz or P2P but I didn't know it would be like that lol

Like I said I get 9mbps on FTTC. I have my SH3 coming on Tuesday I think. Happy days!

Some game clients report the effective transfer rate, which includes the effects of decompressing the files on your computer, which is probably what you're seeing here.

It never does it for me and I use the same software. Odd :/

I thought this could be the case. This seems to be more accurate:



23prince Your going to love it mate.

[23prince]

38MB/sec!?

Holy do a donkey! LOL!

I get 8.8MB/sec although it is all the time. I will give it a go I have 28 days or something as I've never been with VM before.

If it's good I might reduce or dump the FTTC for now. £48 vs £57 for x5 the download speed is well worth it.

Cheers for the trouser fizzling screenshots lol

[jcm193]

Ive seen it goes as high as 42mb/s on occasions

[23prince]

Stop it - You are making the wait turn into hell! :P

[JordanTheToaster]

Well that's one of the lowest pings i have ever seen on my connection.

[23prince]

<<< has to stop coming here until Tuesday cause it's torture LOL

:P

Nice!

I dread to this the usage on these lines. I am doing well at 2TB but no doubt you are much much more than that !

[JordanTheToaster]

Slightly off topic but this has raised some questions, the green mini box on the right side was added a few days ago by some company that dose fiber installations but dose anyone know what it is for?. I have never seen anything like it before so i'm kinda curious what it could be.



Mod Edit - picture re-sized

It's a stand-off shell for the BT cabinet next to it. That's where the copper lines go and where they are jumpered to street-side DSLAM and to exchange.

It's literally just adding more space for jumper blocks, copper pair patch panels essentially.

I'm more impressed that there's someone still actually playing WoW.
