Speed Test

Tonight's speed is:
My Broadband Speed Test

Which is much better, and a lot more like what I was getting after the upgrade.

Up To

There's a lot of controversy about those two little words at the moment.  When you sign up for 'up to 8Mb', or upgrade as I have done to 'up to 20Mb' you expect a service that's close to the stated number.  I know that if you are a long way from the exchange that the speed drops off.

For the first few days immediately after the upgrade I checked the speed of the link and was receiving 13Mb.  Wonderful!  Recently I noticed that videos were stuttering and sites taking a long time to load.  I checked the speed again.  Less than 4Mb on that day.

Today's speed is:

Broadband Speed

My ISP(Plusnet) speed test says:










On the BBC web site its: 5.5-5.8 Mbps

We are close to the exchange, so we should get a good speed. As this test was completed before 8am, I can be certain that my PC is the only one connected to my router.

I am planning to move my Broadband connection to my normal home line, and will be interested to repeat the test there.
