Speed Test
 
When checking my speed, which server should I be using? I know it used to be Maidenhead,, is it still that one?

Not true... its VMs network thats being hammered with 100mb users, the speedtest servers are showing accurate results

how can you prove that

Re: Speed Test
 
testing to the same servers from other ISPs, ive seen the namesco server hit 600mbit from a leased line, and it struggles to hit 100 from a VM connection

Just tried 4 other servers and they are all the same. Newsgroups time.............

Newsgroups isnt going to give me a reliable picture of speed because it wont go above 40k/sec; there is some serious traffic shaping going on.

may they did their maths wrong again. Remeber when they tried to change the max traffic rate on 100mb customers from 100.24 to 110 and they changed it to 1.1mb :D

Re: Speed Test
 
Not sure why, but ever since we got upgraded to 60Mb, the best speed I have recorded is 20Mb, and it seems to be constant at that?

www.vmspeed.com is a good one

Agree.

London namesco is the most consistent on speedtest.net for me.

It happened to me 3 nights in a row :mad:

I have been recording my usage and i will be sending it in shortly with a complaint. I was stm'd the second night because i downloaded 2 gig, 3rd night it was 1 .7 gig. I am about to leave for Birmingham for a meeting and i expect to be STM'd when i return even thou my pc will be off. I have checked my wireless and no one is logged into it.

Sounds daft but what are you using earlier in the day?

The reason I ask is because on my 10Mbps which was a downgrade from 50Mbps so on DOCSIS3 I can download whatever I like (I have done maybe 15GB or more on occasions) before 4pm with no STM at all but soon after 4pm even pretty trivial usage results in it being STM'd if I did clobber it early on.

Re: Speed Test
 
Just tried that V/M shown above, and I'm still not even getting 20Mb, let alone the 60Mb I'm paying for?:(
