That nice Mr Branson is doubling it to 60Mb next month at no extra cost.

 

In use I actually get about 25Mb.

[pedg]

Drastically difference results between that site and speedtest.net. That site says 14Mb download, speadtest.net says 82.31 (should be 100 and has tested as such but son online at moment as well).

[buctootim]

6.7 and 0.3. Happy with download but often wondered by upload is so slow.

I was getting 30mb down and 3mb up courtesy of Virgin in Petersfield, but since moving to the frozen wastes I'm now stuck on their National service for non-cabled areas (despite being in the middle of Durham FFS). Supposedly I'm averaging about 4mb down and 1mb upstream but it's up and down like a whore's drawers and doesn't work at all half the time. The irony is in my new street I could have had BT Infinity and 40mb downstream but I'm locked into Virgin's contract and they won't take Infinity wholesale (even though BT have made it available to other suppliers now). To really rub it in, I've just got a letter from Virgin telling me that my old address has now been upgraded to 60mb... ****s...

Slowest speeds for the slowest poster.

26.59 and 8.19 with http://www.speedtest.net/

55:12 and 4.78 with Virgin media and a Macbook air over wireless and using speedtest. If you're using an older laptop wireless connection then that may be limiting you.

[CityRanger]

11.4 and 2.9 Virgin Media wireless on a Macbook Pro in deepest inner city Southampton...

[Weston Super Saint]

1.7MB down

0.5MB up

 

The retards that built our house / street / community ten years ago didn't have the foresight to put anything other than BT standard cabling into the streets!

 

Apparently there are no plans to upgrade things either.

 

Bloody marvelous.

[norwaysaint]

Very slow at home, probably even slower than Dune, but I guess that's the price for living on an island.

[buctootim]

You can get more out of it by placing your homehub nearer to your phone socket.

You mean just nearer, or with a shorter cable also?

with a shorter cable. thats what the bt engineer did to get me bt vision. he then linked the hub to the vision box with home plugs, and i use wireless fr every thing else.

Aah okay thanks. I'll give it a go.

Best thing to do is plug any router directly in to the master socket. BT master sockets are identified by the lower half being removable, with two small screws, to reveal a few wires to the front plate, and another socket (the test socket) behind the front plate. If possible, connect your router directly to that test socket, using the cable that came with the router, and not any other telephone extension lead.

 

If you take the face plate off and still have a ring wire (wire 3) connected, then remove that, because it is not used in modern phones and may introduce interference. An i-plate may also help if you have other extension sockets in the house.

Plenty of other tips out there on how to improve your connection, but these are arguably the main ones.

Actually that is pretty surprising for the local system, amazed two cans and a piece of string can achieve that

To be fair, I don't think your in a position to offer advice on broadband speeds Mr 2.3MB !!!
