This site gives my speed at 20mb/s
I have tried 3 others and they give my speed at 57MB/s which is what I pay for. So which one(s) are right? Thanks |
Re: speedtest.net
Well if one server shoes you 20, and another shows you 57, then the one thats showing less obviously isn't able to give you the bandwidth you need to max your connection out.
If you are getting 57 on another, then 57 is what you are getting. The best way to check is to go to gamershell.com and dowload 3 or 4 large files simultaneously, then add up the totals. If they come near to or over 6MB/s then everything is fine, just noticed you're on 60 not 50, so you should be getting close to around 7.5 (will be less with overheads) |

Tried gamershell but it kept saying my authentication was not valid or something.
Why would downloading files tell em anything about speeds anwyay? |

Kick every body else of your BB and disconnect every other PC or other device. Connect to Router (or super hub in modem mode) via Hardwired ethernet via lap top or desktop PC. Select and download 3 files. one on each port then add up the values or use a bandwidth monitor on your OS to get the total average. |

Why don't Virgin offer a speed test service? Surely that would be the most accurate way for people to test their connection.
The Virgin engineer I had at my home 3 weeks ago used the following to test my broadband speed: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/diagnostics |

Quite the opposite, ISP provided tests are the least accurate.
After all, people get internet connections to access the internet and ISP tests test everything except the internet. |
