depends where you are from your nearest exchange doesnt it?


I get about 3-5 meg here at home.. when my provider says speeds of up to 10meg on my premium contract .. but tests show my street most you can get anyway is 4.5


go to my mums.. on the door of the local exchange and I can get 10 meg all day every day ..



I used ot only get 1.5 meg but moved the modem thingy from an extension socket upstairs to the main line in which is in the lounge. (bit unsightly for my ocd but hey) plug it in the engineers socket behind the front plate .. went up to 3 meg..


then I got a new front plate from e bay an i bell or summat ... with built in filter and now get the 3.5 meg.


when I go to Matt SV in southampton he can download on i player a 30 min programme in seconds.. takes me about 40 mins here.. might as well bloomin watch it.!


of course extension sockets will decrease it.. and having no in line filter will too..

Very slow.

I have BT hard wired at my desk for work. Loads quicker.

6968 Upload / 670 Download.

Sky 20mb service. They're not bad if you can stand the crappy customer services.



Edit: Interesting how different test sites give different results.



I'm starting to smell a rat now - 60mb? I only pay for 20.



HHhhhmmmm?
