On what should be a 8mb line...

Joys of the island eh :(


Though to be fair it's often nearer the 5mb speed

It will be an 8M line, its just the servers will be overloaded and hence you wont get 8m throughput.....
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.

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 :-/ :-/


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

My best ever:



test 1 min ago :(


it should have little impact on the readings........

For example, here is my reading to Bombay (Mumbai)



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.

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.
