BT Infinity Speed Checker
Is it accurate?
The standard BT broadband speed checker tells me I can get up to 4.4mb but I barely get 2mb.
The Infinity checker tells me i can get 27.1mb, is this accurate or am I likely to get less?

Re: BT Infinity Speed Checker
The 27.1mb is an estimate, you will likely receive a higher speed. For example, I checked the other day, (even though I have the service and it states I should get 25mb, but I actually get just over 30mb).

Re: BT Infinity Speed Checker
I find the BT checker to be generally accurate (and a conservative underestimate in most cases) but obviously it varies and it doesn't seem to be that way for you.

Re: BT Infinity Speed Checker
when my mate was testing it for BT before it was rolled out he was one of the lucky ones in Whitchurch in Cardiff. He was getting around 36mb down and around 6mb up.

Haha, although not quite as good as both my 50Mb's running on a load balancing router :-)
Infinity is a solid product if you live enar a nodal cabinet, but if you live near the end of the line then its really not a massive speed increase over ADSL2+. My DSL line pumps out 9Mb so not a massive difference.

There's only one way to find out, but there doesn't appear to be any takers.
