Speed speed more speed

Thought i would join up and make sure i am getting what i pay for and post some settings make sure everything is good and if not what can i do cheers all in advanced



Also how many virgin customers get the proper speed they were promised i know i do even at peak times only wish i could say the same for adsl services in brum.

ps this getting the fastest speed possible is addictive gone from a dongle to 30 meg dont think i could ever use a dongle again lol

Re: Speed speed more speed

Always get full speed on Speedtest sites. Usually get up to 4.0MB/s on downloads.

Wireless in my room is like a yoyo, one minute it'll be 30MB, next it'll be 2, or 5, or 10, or whatever.

Re: Speed speed more speed

Re: Speed speed more speed



a long way away from my past VM performance, just gone midnight would be a spike on utilisation as shaping is disabled and still good speed.

Re: Speed speed more speed

fwiw 10mbps/"L" tier off brig16 (Cisco 1012) Brighton BN3


SamKnows YTD average = 9.71/1.01/21.8

All totally misleading/inconsistent indicator of performance when taken in isolation unless you include in context of client/server processor load, server location, max route speed, route/hops, rtt, etc , how the averages are determined, clock accuracy and myriad of other factors.

A useful as stating 10.2s 0-60 on my Suzuki Alto without gross laden weight,altitude,inclines,barometric pressure,RH,gearbox type, etc
