36351 kbits/sec or more!

[otguk]

Like everyone else I have been having problems with the net.

Am just living with it as NTL will get it sorted out..... soon.

Just that every time my page will not load I have run a speed test from

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robin.d.h.walker/speedtest.html?1158708264828

and get strange results.......

1st 128K took 30 ms = 4369067 Bytes/sec = approx 36351 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 20 ms = 6553600 Bytes/sec = approx 54526 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 20 ms = 6553600 Bytes/sec = approx 54526 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 20 ms = 6553600 Bytes/sec = approx 54526 kbits/sec

Well thats my 2cents worth, might be of help!

You have just tested the speed of you browser cache stored on your hard-disk, to need to click the button which says repeat the test from the server!

I think he has to be honest hence the random number on the end of the URL mmm

if he used the same random list of numbers/url each tiem thoguh ti wil lstill cache

[Graham M]

True enough, though he'd have to be a bit daft to do that :disturbd: :D

im sure in our earlier days we may have right clicked a link labled test from server and pasted it into notepad/word/random file then jsut used it over and over again without thinking about it
