Broadband speed checker

People were chattin about BB speeds sp thought we'd could do a comparison.

Using Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test lets do the check and also the ping test and post the results. Obviouslu those lucky enough to have cable will be top of the bunch but worth a look.

Ping test

Well heres my results, during the day lovely and fine 30-40ping 14mb DL etc.. during the evenings though, well...

Try a different server sinny as its showing as >250 miles which might lower your speed.
Also try the ping test.

my internet is so bad it fails to connect to most servers, i tried ping test 3 times, that was the only successful attempt.

I used to be on virgin 20mb but had to downgrade to cut costs to 10mb now. Though with 10mb your only meant to get half a mb upload and 1mb/s on 20mb... since downgrading they cut my download speed but left my upload which has its uses.

I work for an ISP and get broadband gratis only adsl max where I live but it's a business only ISP so I get full bandwidth evenings / weekends - have virgin cable connected but contention at peak times puts me off?

Virgin 50Mb:

Knew you virgin lot would absolutely storm it. Shame they don't do it in my area.
