[Merged] BB Speed Upgrades - Page 16

Ok, I am supposed to be on a 150k connection, but I just ran a speed test and it says I downloaded at 240kbs, so, I thought hmmm, then I ran it again and this time I downloaded at 155kbs. Anyone know whats going on? I am in the Warrington area, if that helps anyway...

Could be just a spike, some times you can get that.

one point although off topic.

Just because bt openworld has a low cap that isnt a representative of ADSL, there are still numerous isps uncapped and some who are capped but have a uncapped product still available.

on topic no upgrade here yet but then again leics isnt supposed to be until 1 august so I will expect it then even tho thats a sunday.

Wayne3212 · 29-07-2004, 09:07

paulyoung666 · 29-07-2004, 09:16

double the download speed of a sacm if you are in the right area

not sure what the right area is , but i am sure someone will let us know

Will this speed boost make pages load quicker or just download speeds faster ?

Stop It · 29-07-2004, 09:26

Both, remember to view a website you have to download it, so yes they will be called up faster, :-)

if you stay on the 150k service you wont notice any difference because you are already getting the faster speed now by the sound of it

sorry crossed posts there , it is a bit too early for me

Oooh - My speed is measured as 181.00kbps in 150/300k STB in leeds...

anyone want to take a guess as to what that means?
