What's your Internet Speed?

Just had an uplift in speed in the UK

Am happy as before I swapped ISP to 40/10Mb I was getting 1.5/1.0Mb and just a little over a year see above. Pay £26/month

The connection I am paying for is a 25/5 Unlimited Bandwidth

 

[boohbah]

And for consistency so we get a good idea, How much do BT charge for that service, if you dont mind me asking?

I will be getting 60MB plus about 5MB upload for £17 a month with Virgin in due course, £21.00 is standard I think

Paul pays £21.49 with Plusnet for his fabulous speeds, so BT??

Cheers

sorry just noticed your post.
BT charge £35 for 100mb unlimited



as we paid £25 per month previously for an unlimited 8mb connection then the extra tenner is well worth it.
they do a 40mb for £25 but these speeds are to double in a few months.

seems like 60mb for £17 from virgin is a good deal.

My currently speed is : Download - 5.17Mbps , Upload - 0.72Mbps, Ping - 15ms (on SpeedTest.net).
I paid for : Download - 6.5Mpbs , Upload - 1Mbps.

No worries Boohbah, just good to compare the market sometimes, Virgin has had fibre optic for ages but hasn't really taken advantage of it.

They have quite a severe usage limit though and when i was on 10MB I often found that my internet speeds were 1.98MB, thankfully since the upgrade I think I am now allowed 20GB a day, I was watching top gear in HD and that must have been using like 4 or 5gb of data cause I kept getting capped.

60MB with the doubling should be good but they do need to work on the uploads!

Virgin do have the far superior product though.

 

[Paul1360]

Bad TM on Virgin is my understanding. TM on BT is p2p at peak hours. The only time I've had a speed problem was when they uplifted my last Friday when I went from 38/9Mb to 75/16Mb, have not suffered any congestion problems either, in fact my Cab is now full (200 Slots)and they have put in another new 1. as I said a yr ago £7.50 for 1.5Mb / 1.0Mb and now £26 for 75Mb / 16Mb no contest in my book

something i had never seen before because of such a poor speed ,is that on youtube when watching a video, placing the cursor on the progress bar will show a thumbnail preview of the frame .
i didnt know that was a feature until now. not seen before it in 5 years of using youtube.

Yes its a YouTube feature.

Probably the slowest broadband speed.

 

[Dave76]

Nope

Download is better than mine.

 

[Dreamlarry]

This is the Internet speed on my office computer. But it is far more slow on my home computer.

 

[Dreamlarry]

I am sure it is not the slowest broadband speed. My home laptop Internet speed is so so slow, you can't imagine it.

As I've said my old speed a year ago was 1.5Mb D/L & 1.0Mb U/L
Dave76
Your D/L speed is less than 2Mb in the USA? wow my understanding was you a'll had good speeds.
Dreamlarry,

You can't imagine this:

When I open a website on my laptop, it always take seconds to reach. Let alone download some files nor upload the file. I think it is the lowest Internet speed here.

Less than 2Mb D/L speed is not so bad comparing to the speed in China. But I am really shocked :shock: as I thought the network speed in USA is quite fast. (It should at least around 4M in my mind)

 

[Britton30]

wow! We've improved, used to be 30th.
