Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades

"I have got 1Mb Broadband †“ what is 1.5Mb going to be like?
All our 1Mb Broadband customers will be upgraded to 1.5Mb later this summer.

This means that you will be able to

· Download large files at lightening speed
· Email large attachments ..."


I can't quite get this statement.
How will increasing the speed from 1Mb to 1.5Mb have any effect in emailing large attachments?

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades

Upgraded to 1mb and now this is my speed:-


ADSLGUIDE:-

Direction Actual Speed True Speed (estimated)

Downstream 1397 Kbps (174.6 KB/sec) 1508 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream 224 Kbps (28.0 KB/sec) 241 Kbps (inc. overheads)


Simple Speed Test:-
1st 128K took 719 ms = 182298 Bytes/sec = approx 1517 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 703 ms = 186447 Bytes/sec = approx 1551 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 703 ms = 186447 Bytes/sec = approx 1551 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 719 ms = 182298 Bytes/sec = approx 1517 kbits/sec
