February 7, 200818 yr Hey I found this great Speed test for your ISP which tests your Upload and Download speeds. It has a great GUI interface with a Speedometer to determine your download rate I'm currently with Sky Broadband Mid and I ranked in at: Download: 7160 kbps Upload: 313 kbps Link to test: http://www.speedtest.net/ Click on the pyramid closest to your location (it's normally preselected in gold for you) It's interesting if you where curious of your speed
February 8, 200818 yr Got a line that's 3100 up and 1000 down. And the installation guy said my line should be able to cope with high speeds. So I might be tempted to upgrade at some point. And the best thing: here in Norway we don't have that silly bandwidth cap as you find in the UK! I'm loving it! So refreshing after coming from a Tiscali nightmare back in London.
February 9, 200818 yr I'm currently on Virginmedia 20Mb BB. VM are currently trialling 50Mb BB for rollout later in the year. Here are my results from the linked speed test site... If you call the VM helpdesk, they ask you to try downloading from http://gamefiles.virginmedia.com/blueyonde.../demos/?C=S;O=D I've just tried it and am getting 18000+ kb/s
February 9, 200818 yr download 1933 kb/s and upload 233 kb/s mmmmmm......not very exciting... Not sure how this all works but I guess I'm lucky to have broadband considering how few people live out here.
February 29, 200818 yr My speed has gone down recently, used to be around 12,000 kb/s - I think it is because I upgraded my upload to over 1,300 kb/s. I can still download from usenet at around 15,000kb/s, for some reason. I'm on Be Unlimited (Pro) by the way Rob
February 29, 200818 yr That's not too bad, but bear in mind, this is the works internet. I'll test my home connection later
February 29, 200818 yr Has anyone used the BBC iPlayer and downloaded media? I'm regularly getting 1.5 - 1.8 Mbytes/sec :D
February 29, 200818 yr Has anyone used the BBC iPlayer and downloaded media? I'm regularly getting 1.5 - 1.8 Mbytes/sec :D I will once it's available for the mac! I thought it uses p2p technology anyway? That way you are only limited by the amount of people sharing the files.
