Yesterday morning:

Pretty similar, implication is line is now limiting factor, though NTL use those poxy proxies which help no end with speed tests.

What sync speed are you getting?

You couldn't have been downloading at max bandwidth, and still getting that sort of throughput ;)

Either the download paused during test, or the download was using little bandwidth ;)

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.

tested 8.47pm



and again 12.27a.m. weds 31



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
