Plus net is thier wisdom have removed thier results history.
This is actually the worst I have ever seen mine run at since I was upgraded to 6.5 Mbit :-/ :-/

Unusually good for me today considering its a shite virgin connection

1220 Down
386 Up
Reasonably happy; considering I`m (literally) miles from the exchange via overhead wires. :y

I remember when it was still Telewest, couldn't fault the connection...
Virgin really have stuffed cable up...

No, NTL have.
Virgin were great until they merged with NTL and then NTL shut the virgin servers down and shifted everybody onto thier already overloaded heaps of shite!

Good result!
I would be using a wireless keyboard/mouse setup if I were you though, just in case a summer storm rolls past - probably next year now though ;D ;D ;D

My link speed is 4meg down and 1/2 meg up.....but, thats just the link, the above is the throughput as strangled by the naff servers!

Phil why are you testing to the moscow server? try it again on London or Maidenhead ;)
My best ever:

On what should be a 8mb line...
Joys of the island eh :(
Though to be fair it's often nearer the 5mb speed
-
Down 1297
Up 301
From BT broadband, looks like that might be quite poor then. :(

It will be an 8M line, its just the servers will be overloaded and hence you wont get 8m throughput.....
-
No, NTL have.

NTL are rubbish. I have to use the Dublin server to get an accurate result. Both Maidenhead and London are useless from here. And 'here' is Southampton...

It will be network capacity more likely than server. Only servers some ISPs go through are proxies, though guess you could call the HGs a server, but they have the power to handle the full capacity of the central.

it should have little impact on the readings........
For example, here is my reading to Bombay (Mumbai)
(http://www.speedtest.net/result/310701726.png)
The ping is obviously greater because there is one hell of a lot more routers and servers to get through......but the download speed is similar.
The only time i migh be quicker is if the test server is on the same network as your IP provider.

Mine looks alright, as far as I can see.... :-/

I had 7M off my BT line earlier today (using the dedicated bt login), which shows throughput of line (during day, so exchange not busy), but doesn't show internet bottlenecks.

Does anyone still use dhcp ;)

Corporately yes. But infrastructure no - servers, even CS are still seperate from previous NTL and Telewest. I've used both and ex Telewest is much better.

Makes no odds, they will be a common router as they enter the main Uk core network.....

Thought they were now sharing their own Internet transit networks, including those awful proxies?

I beleave they are, they only leased VPN's off other providers (mainly BT) for most of the inetrconnects anyway

Home,
Work has a 20mb + up and down for the tech support side, I would love to know the speed of our Random number generator's out put

Am leaving mine downloading overnight.
Meter says I am getting a steady 5.9 mb
So that will do nicley.
