Most ISPs shape their traffic to give artificially high speedtests, which don't match reality.

Plusnet are rumoured to be particularly bad for this.


So all speedtests via the ISP are meaningless.

OK, let me put it another way:

Gibson Research used to have a good reputation amongst those tinkerers with PCs who didn't earn their living that way.  We had few alternative tools for testing our internet and LAN security.

The online scanner was decent enough, as long as you didn't read the descriptions for problems found.

I think he lost a load of face when XP was launched over raw sockets. I guess he thought he was more important than he really was...

Mines a tad slower than normal but not surprised with everyone at home due to the snow.

I'd never get a 'clean run' on my Zen line, as its too busy 24/7 (as admins who have access to the stats will testify!).

Off the BT line (mostly idle), normally around 650kB/s, syncs at around 7Mb/s.

Know where your Home Gateway is?  If its Brum, I'm in that room on Friday, I could give it a good kicking if that helps (it won't, but would make me feel better!)


I know it is the Fernhill Heath exchange - where I live is badly sorted for BB, that is why I was ISDN for so long.

Anyway give it a good kick anyway - can't do any harm. Currently 1472D and 64U with loss of BB every couple of hours.

Rebooting the BTHH does nothing now >:( >:(
