Erm...I wouldn't trust speedtest.net it's highly unreliable.

Try downloading from http://gamefiles.blueyonder.co.uk and see what you get.

Why's that? :/

And even if it is, it's good enough for what she's meant for - an indicative, quick speed for comparison with others.

Well a test that says I have a 2mb connection yet I can download at 1.2 mb/s (which is what I SHOULD get on 10mb) is hardly reliable. Either way, each to their own.

I can go on say tonight and get a result equal to 2mb. I can then go and download at my full speed from a proper source. Sorry I guess I'm just sick of all this speedtest.net stuff. People come on the blueyonder newsgroups raving about their connection due to speedtest.net results...when it's in no way a good representative of actual speeds.

I just wouldn't use it tbh.

:undecided:

About right for a 4Mb line on Virgin.

mejinks · 30-05-2007, 14:39

Speed from minusnet.

Counting down the days till I change to a decent provider...

Admiral Huddy · 30-05-2007, 15:30

MB.. I've just thought, If you're on Virgin XL.. Shouldn't the connection be 20MB ??

Robert · 30-05-2007, 16:25

Not everyone has been upgraded yet - they do it region by region. Unless his region has been done..

Matblack · 30-05-2007, 16:31

Nope my region is scheduled to be done by the end of May, it looks like the engineering work is scheduled for tomorrow night.
