View Full Version : Is my 4MB speed correct?

I've just upgraded with Virgin Media from 2MB to 4MB and I don't see any significant increase. Is the above result what it should be?

Looks okay to me..
4mb is roughly between 300 - 450 'ish Kps...

I'm on the 4mb connection and it would seem similar to mine, last night mine was:

I am getting really pee'd off - the only thing that has changed is the change from STB to SACM (250) and the 4mb to 10mb, and it halves my speed!! Anyone know whether this is a modem issue, or maybe because of splitting the signal?
hot off the press....

Just out of interest have you tried disconnecting the STB and just have your modem connected ?

heres my speed on 10 mb https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2007/03/69.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

There are eight bits in a byte.
There's no standard for the engineering units for bits or bytes but generally
b = bit
B = byte
So, 10 Mbps = 10/8 MBps = 1.25 MBps = 1250 KBps.

STB has been off all the time (still connected - but off) - would be interested to see if not using a splitter would have any effect - but don't have the inclination to go through spagetti junction behind my tv again...
