[AndyIggs83]

you wont get 20MB speeds at this time guys, you will have to leave it till the early hours

[jcw00]

thanks andy hope it improves later lol jcw your speed is awsome!

I will also do some more tests throughout tomorrow. I'm hoping that it will be good all day, as my connection has never suffered any speed problems on what ever speed config I'm on.

What are you using for your speed tests?

The speedtest link on the navbar (top of page).

[Rik]

you wont get 20MB speeds at this time guys, you will have to leave it till the early hours

They might do if they use Bit Torrent or NNTP.

2.35MB/s here.

Using HTTP tho, I would tend to agree lol.

[Sirpingalot]

So, I'm the only one getting this

Oh..hang on..maybe it's my router? Direct to the modem I get http://www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk/results.php?t=1185310433&v=1910215

[vmtech]

dude if your getting 2.35Mbps wat you complaining about?

[Sirpingalot]

Yes. 2.35Mbit/s which is completely different to 2.35MByte/s. BIG difference dude.

[jcw00]

I removed my router and found that the speed increased from 0.62 Mbps to 4.83 Mbps, however traffic shaping must have kicked in now, as speed keeps going up and down.

[Rains]

Hi i did a test on the xbox live servers was pulling 1600Kbs of there and it was busy i will do some test tomorrow

[jcw00]

I have run 3 tests from both speedtest.net and Paul Marsden and taken the average from each. Here are my results:

Time – speedtest – Paul Marsden
10am – 17.27Mbps – 17.21Mbps
11am – 16.18Mbps – 15.23Mbps
12pm – 16.18Mbps – 15.47Mbps
2pm – 11.16Mbps – 5.42Mbps
3pm – 3.30Mbps – 10.46Mbps
4pm – 8.91Mbps – 4.61Mbps
Following the tests at 4pm, I downloaded over 3Gb, so that traffic shaping would kick in.
5pm – 4.52Mbps – 3.21Mbps (Being Shaped)
6pm – 3.70Mbps – 2.11Mbps (Being Shaped)
7pm – 3.77Mbps – 1.17Mbps (Being Shaped)
8pm – 3.80Mbps – 2.37Mbps (Being Shaped)
Shaping now turned off (I used speedtest.net to confirm when shaping was being applied, as the upload speeds reduced from 768k to 256k)
9pm – 5.86Mbps – 2.87Mbps
10pm – 2.18Mbps – 1.42Mbps – VERY POOR for 20Mbps connection not being shaped !!!

Interestingly there are major differences between the two speed test sites from 2pm onwards.

Although most kids are now on summer holidays, it would appear that afternoon and evening browsing is much slower than before 3pm. More testing would be needed to confirm this though.

When you hit STM you speed should be a steady 5mbps - 2mbps - 1mbps, give or take a little. Mine drops from 4mbps to 2mbps steady (think I got the caps thing right)
If it is not steady then there could be other issues, but when STM kicks in for me its a steady 2mbps or when at full tilt I get 4.1mbps.

Lovely. I'm still on 2M. Wish they'd sort out the upload speed, though. One could argue 733k (probably meant to be 1M) is still lame.

[Tazfan]

Nottingham was upgraded about a month ago now. I have been enjoying a very rapid connection, with no loss of speed at all ever since.
I have neevr had slow speeds on any package I have had since I got the 1Mb package when it was first introuduced.
