I used to be with them and it was great, then I moved to an area without cable

Im sitting about 6-7 meg at the moment, Still, to keep me happy I remember back to the days when I was 5kbps on dialup at 1p a minute, ahhh watching that dirty picture download in 10mm bands only to find that she had a secret package when you were hoping for the money shot as a 17 year old

bengie · 07-09-2008, 14:45

Zero · 07-09-2008, 14:50

**VRStu** · 07-09-2008, 14:58

Lady Elanore · 07-09-2008, 15:12

BT WiFi, it’s fast enough for what I need at the moment I guess.

magic62 · 07-09-2008, 15:17

Was curious and did a cuople of tests. Upload is almost always the same, download differs a lot.

I hope you realise that 1 British kb/s is equivalent to 9 Euro kb/s

apinner · 07-09-2008, 16:34

Its not great by those standards, but for ADSL in the countryside its lightening!

Zero · 07-09-2008, 17:51

to be honest i think anything over 2mb is fine if all your doing is browsing the tinterweb, it just makes my manhood feel bigger if i know it's faster

pittVRS · 07-09-2008, 22:48

Although they deliver the speeds they advertise, I'm not best pleased just now. I was told that I would be upgraded to 10 Meg "in a matter of weeks" this was about 4 months ago. harrumph.

m17rkj · 07-09-2008, 23:26

only on the basic BB here and to be fair thats pretty much exactly what it should be

Hedge · 07-09-2008, 23:29

Anyone would think they were showing favouritism.

joenitro · 08-09-2008, 17:47

Hmmm, not too bad here really. Oh and Stu, your ping is shocking!!

**VRStu** · 08-09-2008, 19:44

What does it man if I have a bad Ping? Are my pants going to fall down in the street?

Sadly the low speed is because we are connected to a steam driven exchange.

**VRStu** · 08-09-2008, 19:51

Must be something to do with my laptop -

My test -

SWMBO's test -

I was wondering what the current exchange rate was

devonutopia · 08-09-2008, 20:50

That's serious pron downloading speed!

mikeSM56 · 08-09-2008, 21:04

Not too shabby for a fiver a month

m17rkj · 08-09-2008, 23:29

WTF is Ping??

Mark

andy2407 · 09-09-2008, 00:09

From my digs in a small village somehere in North Yorkshire....

Not the best, but at least there is some broadband signal unlike the mobile phone networks who don't seem to know the place exists!
