Did a speed test whislt maxing my download bandwidth.

Am quite happy with that.

When done, just click share near the bottom right , copy and paste the forum link if you want to test and post results.

Thats supposed to be a 16meg connection! the exchange is roughly 50 yards away! Sky are w@ank3rs!!

8Meg link so not too shabby a result

Some good speeds there. I normally get the same results as Leomas, about 6.7 from an 8Mb connection.

Please remember that some ISPs ensure that popular speedtesters give them good results, and that real world will be different.
In the case of your ISP, Skruntie, they are king of the traffic shapers.
Evenings will cause slowdowns for most, due to the amount of contention on the backhauls.

As speeds increased accros the net I understand they all have enforced bandwith rules.
My limit is 15GB between 4 pm and Midnight. I just hit 11.03 GB peak usage yesterday. But my monthly access restarts tomoorw so I will hit the full 15 GB today.
Off peak they leave me alone, for that reason I am 100% with them, that is of course unless they change.
My speed test actually reported a slower speed then I was downloading at when I did the test this morning.

If my experience is anything to go by, it could well be more to do with bt than sky who rent the line from bt. The line in our road is 3.5km from the exchange, but has so much noise it sometimes drops to 500kbs which is worse than pants. This level of service has been the same with 3 different providers. Bt themselves who we left for oranges free service. They could not mach the speed to the level the line could take so all we got was errors and no service. So we left them for sky who now deliver the same level of service as bt, with the phone and tv we pay 36 a month. £4 a month less than we where paying bt for just the phone and broadband.
A total saving of £59 a month now that we dont pay bt's £25 broadband and £30 monthly phone bills.
But that still leaves us with a crap broadband connection due to the phone line, or rather bts crap exchange on the end of it as i understand it. So question is, what sp do we try next?... as the Mrs needs better service for work and they will pay for it. My thinking so far,
Virgin, quickest probably, but cant face their customer service.
O2, allegedly have their own, equipment in bt's exchange and is probably favourite but how to prove the service before the install?
Talk talk as 02
3G via the mobile phone network, im told this can be set up to work for all devices in the house, 2 wifi phones, 360, ps3, 2 lap tops and a pc we rarely use.
Anybody got any thoughts..? Tia.

Regardless of ISP, if using BT lines then I suppose they rule the roost and performance ultimately is in thier hands.
Virgin/cable is not allways an option.
3g and mobile technology id beyond me so cant comment.

The house had nthell when we moved in, so presume it would just need connecting up. And we where with them in the previous house, from what i gather the basic infrastructure/customer service still remains with Virgin, so on that level, yes probably not an option, no matter how quick it is.

This is the best i can ever hope for living where i am. I used to have 512kbs untill 6 months ago when the few of us in the street complained to bt. We live right at the edge of the bt exchange which is around 10 miles away. It sucks!!!! I used to live in Cardiff and get 8mbs no problem but now live in the countryside with the sheep!!!!

Have you considered 'mobile broadband'? As your landline BB is cr@p it may worth considering but you'll have to be shrewd with your usage.
Just athought :y

Plusnet are renown for the amount of traffic shaping they do, far worse than any other big ISP. Not knocking them for it, thats their model, and it protects the customer they want to keep (low users), and hurts the ones they want to drop (heavy users). Plusnet's problem has been shown time and time again, they have insufficient Central capacity (these puppies are over £1m per year), hence the extreme shaping.
If it works for you, brilliant :y
But my point remains, the speedtest means jack schmit ;) (and ain't that great either)

Hence no complaints from me, but as said before, I do pay extra for the Premier service, and in all honesty they would love me to leave. But I aint. :-X :-X :-X

I know a few premier PN customers, I'm not a fan of the service. To get the best, unmolested service from PN, go for the PAYG (but obviously if you are a big hitter, will get crippled financially)

You may be getting close to being kicked off there - slowly they are getting rid of their unsustainable customers, so unless its necessary, consider cutting it back.
Not that I can think of many reasons why a consumer should need to transfer that amount.

They addmitted they cant cant kick me off because of the original contract, and have also admiited that I can have what I want when I want it as long as its off peak they wont bother me.
Its all legal, I dont pirate.
I will come clean. As per other thread I fancy a MCE unit. The original idea was to put a boot drive and DVD/RW in it and then add hard drives. I bought 1TB drive, and filled it from my old server with Video clips collected off the net over the years. Then bought annother 1TBand started downloading stuff I allready had on Video atape. Top Gear and a few other bits. I have no interest in films at all.
I then added annother 1TB and collected the uncut American versions of WWE, WWF, Raw, Smackdown etc, and realised that the UK only shows about 20% of what is produced.
Next week I will add 1TB and carry on collecting the wrestling.
Had I have got the recording equipment and coverage to put it on DVD as shown on TV then I would have done But for the space of one computer wit a boot drive and 6 TB over a period of time I thought I would go that direction. Also leaving 1or 2 TB for the TV cards.
As far as I am aware was/is broadcast over TV channels and therefore recordable to keep.
On that basis I believe I have done nothing illegal.
Also I have downloadeds 1000's of wallpaper back grounds for my Digitl picture frame. Favourites being the nature and landscape stuff, in particular the woodland and water/falls/rivers/lakes etc. Loads of cars, trains, planes and various other transport.
The stuff I am after will be enough to fill annother drive or 2, so as I am moving in March and wont have Sky then at least I will have plenty to watch and wont be stuck for choices.
If for any reason what I am doing is illegal, then simply it will be deleted.
-
I think PN have already proved they can terminate any contract, seem to recall a court case during the original AUP/FUP debacle they went through. I've heard of a recent clampdown. The other tool they have in their arsenal is to shape you so badly you will leave voluntarily ;D
As to the legalities of downloading series, that is not legal. Many of these belong to production companies, not the broadcaster (esp the yankee ones), and the broadcaster has rights to transmit at an agreed time. No different from downloading a film that has been shown on television at some point - still illegal.
All that said, 1Tb a month is more than anyone could watch!

Well I dont intend watching it all at once. I wont be going for a sky install till I know what the move costs me.
As for termination of ISP. If they warn me of over use I will chill it, untill then I aint really bothered.
So are you saying we cant record a series by any media, be it video, DVD or download it. Lets face it, if thats the case whats the point of any of it.
I dont mind downloading it, watch it and then delete it.
As I say, I abide by the law (most of the time :-X(like we all do)) but would appreciate more information from web links etc as to the law on video for private use.

I think originally, you were supposed to watch the vhs tape within 30days or something, though don't think thats valid any more.
As for downloading, thats a big fat no. Only reason why BBC/ITV can do iplayer/watch again is purely because of the DRM that the producers insist is enforced!

That's about as good as it gets round here - my neighbour only gets about 2000kbps at best - we're a very long way from the exchange.
I'm satisfied with the speed, but every now and then it goes away, and I get stuck on 135kbps for days on end. What seems to happen is that due to some line interruption, BT have detected an unstable connection and have throttled back the throughput limit (IP profile) to something very silly.
Demon's helpdesk in Mumbai are the most unco-operative bunch of losers I have ever encountered, and just will not do anything about it. They say they can't fix it (which I'm not sure I believe), and that they can't report it to BT unless I send them three sets of results from BT's speed test site spread over a period of 9 hours. This is complete nonsense, as they are perfectly capable of running the speed test themselves, because they can see the IP profile and the exchange connect speed.
I'd dump them, but I'm honestly not sure if anyone else is any better. And I made the mistake, 12 years ago, of using an xxx.demon.co.uk e-mail address for business purposes, and I can't get that sub-domain re-hosted elsewhere, as far as I know. Too many people have the old address, and I can't notify them all that I'm changing, as I'm not in regular contact with them. I suppose I could get another broadband service and just retain a Demon dial-up facility, but who do I switch to?

No probs, will fill the hard drives full of high res imgaes, theres plenty to go at.

I was a happy Demon user for years but it all went to pot around the time ADSL came to town. (2001 ish for me, IIRC?) They made such a farce out of the process of swapping me to ADSL that I ditched them instead.
I've been with Zen ever since and am very happy. I also bought a domain at the same time as the pitfalls of relying on an ISP email address became apparent.

if you are downloading at max bandwidth (ie, no spare bandwidth), you can't get a 5Mbps down the line as well ;)
So something, unsurprisingly, is telling you a load of BS - hence why these speedtesters mean jack... ...only one that is useful is the BT Speedtester, loging on via the special logon to bypass the ISP. That is when the speedtester is not doign a DoS on BT's own firewalls :-X

found a similar version, which includes your postcode...
http://www.broadband.co.uk/broadband-speed-test.jsp
which reported,
Your local exchange is Reading South and the maximum theoretical speed achievable on your line via ADSL Max is 3.42Mb which is 189 percent faster than this test shows you are getting.

and again 12 hours later, 12.50pm weds 31
not much variation with peak and off peak, would suggest a fault? Although the speed is capped to reduce errors and then the router slowing to the point we have to unplug it to reset.

That shows that its less likely to be exchange contention or ISP issue, but local line.
As per all advice, does it improve if you have it purely in master socket, with all house wiring disconnected? Does a better quality router help?

Ok, will plug router in main socket again as the next test, when ive moved the xmas tree, coffee table, setee, so that i can get at the chest of draws, to access the plug, to unscrew the the face plate, to get to the master socket(?) and plug the rather thing in again for the 5th time to find its exactly the same....? :-X
Mite try another router first i think... :y

Speed test - well you don't want to know, but I managed a rather big one yesterday on my test track - highest ever for me out of 5 cars.
Lets say from same start to end a 2.6 managed 15 more than a .02 and 3 more than a 3.0
(oh for BinB not that high - not that long a section of road)
Oh PC speeds :-[
I don't get full speed, but still get the same when using IPTV
