Im on roughly 4-5Meg with a MAX product. My exchange gets ADSL2+ enabled in March so that should see me up to 10ish Meg. But I am over 2.5k to the exchange. Ferckin cable (NTL Etc ) stopped 2 villages over about 5 years ago and they have no plans to extend it so I have to make do with my 2 copper wires.

Heres mine. Ntl cable.

Speed Down 3839.57 Kbps ( 3.7 Mbps )

Speed Up 371.29 Kbps ( 0.4 Mbps )

Heres mine

Data rate (Kbps) 6024 448

I used to be with Tiscali on their 1mb unlimited service which used to give 1150Kbps, however I changed ISP when they refused to accept that my line was capable of handling more than 1mb (even there own line test showed a max of 2.5mb). As we see above, I was right and they lost a customer, and bearing in mind my location out in the wilds of Dartmoor I am well pleased

And heres a couple of links for anyone wishing to get a rough idea of their connection speed

Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test

InternetFrog.com: Network Tools, Internet Speed Test and Website Tools

NTL 10Mb Cable

Down - 9691kbps

Up - 492kbps

In Japan, it's all a bit different. You get fibre and gigabit ethernet speeds up to your front door :eek: :drool:

At home, I'm on 10Meg NTL and it works very very well. Only occasional glitch is the DNS servers which play up. :(

Works connection speeds using first link (speedtest.net)....

ntl 10 meg at home and i get full strength sometimes more

up 8 meg in work get about 5 meg on average (and emails asking me to stop using p2p networks as it's unfair on other users on the bt network)

Yeah, stop using your Internet Connection its slowing it down.. What do you mean you thought thats what it was for? No way, it there to look at, not to be used!

:P

OK, if we are talking about phrasing, how about this one taken from my hotel room?

download = 3521 / Upload = 350:confused:

Im paying for 8meg(bt) - This good or bad? I have no idea, im new to broadband and my computer knowledge is pretty poor. All I know is its a millions time faster than the dial up I had before:rofl:

Thought I would try a speed test here at work. Despite the poor speed, it works really well despite having 350 users on it, plus the outside world coming in to browse the website.

You're paying for (up to) 8 Meg... You're getting 3.5Meg down and .35 Meg up.

Any idea what you ISP quotes your upspeed as?

Ntl 10meg.

8Mb [800k/s avg] for downloads *cough* and 2Mb [24ok/s avg] for browsing / xbox live.

Am waiting for the local exchange to be done then will be having 2 22Mb's bundled for some serious speeds

1Mbps - can't complain, it's what I ordered....

Currently in the queue for ADSL MAX but have been waiting for over a week now...

Reckon I should see "up to" 6Mbps once MAX'd.
