1st 128K took 10 ms = 13107200 Bytes/sec = approx 109052 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 10 ms = 13107200 Bytes/sec = approx 109052 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 10 ms = 13107200 Bytes/sec = approx 109052 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 20 ms = 6553600 Bytes/sec = approx 54526 kbits/sec
Now that is silly.
tried it again and now
1st 128K took 20 ms = 6553600 Bytes/sec = approx 54526 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 30 ms = 4369067 Bytes/sec = approx 36351 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 20 ms = 6553600 Bytes/sec = approx 54526 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 20 ms = 6553600 Bytes/sec = approx 54526 kbits/sec

Argh! the electrical storm has turned my STB evil!
... Good ping rates though...
(Yeah, I know. I was bored  )

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
Believe it or not, you chaps who posted work speeds have faster internet at work than I do! My home internet is faster than work!
I know you guys like Robin Walker's test but to be honest more comprehensive and accurate speedtests can be found at http://www.adslguide.org.uk/tools/speedtest.asp and http://www.numion.org/MaxSpeed/index.html

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
I actually made my own modification of Robin Walker's speedtest - All it really does is increase the payload by 8x from 128K to 1024K. Gives much more consistent results for faster connections. (Oops... I forgot to change the "128K" text to "1024K" when I uploaded...)
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/xuepei/st.html
Actually I find the ADSLGuide speed test extremely innaccurate - Just tried it with the following results :
First run :
Downstream
around 50000 Kbps
Upstream
around 80 Kbps
(MaxSpeed crashed my browser so I havnt got the actual values)
Second run :
Downstream
22850 Kbps (2,856.3 KB/sec)
24678 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream
34 Kbps (4.3 KB/sec)
36 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Somehow I don't think the 5MB upload I just did to a US server in 4 seconds went at 34Kbps... or 80Kbps for that matter...
And the MaxSpeed test?
First run : Downstream 5mbps Upstream 8mbps
Second run : applet froze
Third run : crashed my browser (and took all 8 other windows along with it, including the one in which i was typing this post, so I had to start again)
Hmm... I think I'll stick to Robin Walker's test, for "normal" connections and my mod for "fat pipe" connections...

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
A few probs with ADSLGuide on upstream, browser dependent 
Downstream is usually there or there abouts though.
Nice speedtest of yours by the way, simple but v useful from my point of view.
