Anyone else got rubbish internet speeds?
Currently only on 2.17MB download and wait for it! 0.03MB upload, thought there was a problem when I tried to get a photo up. Shocked
Must be the weather as I'm on ADSL (phone line)
Normally I get about 5.50mb and 0.80mb.

Which isn't great but works well..

Anyone else?
I did the speedtest on the App from Ookla or www.speedtest.net _\Hennessey|Venom| F5/___

Have you tried rebooting Modem/Router? If you do, wait for about 60secs after switch off so that you get allocated a different IP address. Can be very effective. Thumbs Up LANDYWATCH

Just checked - 25 down and 11 up. I'm on BT Infinity which is pretty good although not as fast as the 64mb they'd said I'd get! Even on this though the speeds vary a lot and it's amazing how many things they reckon can affect the rate. I wouldn't be surprised if they said it was your star sign! Laughing

I just ran a check with a tool on Money Supermarket and I am getting 10.05 down and 1.07 up. They recommend I change to Virgin Media to get 23.99mb .... I am using Virgin Media.

Internet signal hovers between 58.0 and 130.0 Mbps here, 90% of the time it is stable at 65.0Mbps. We have one router which distributes the signal all over the house for 2 wireless HD TVs and wireless internet, with the TVs getting capacity priority over internet. So internet at 65.0Mbps is not too bad for living in a rural environment I guess. I believe the underground phone lines here a few years ago were changed to fiber optics if I have it right. I also know that in Geneva city the signal is already about 3 or 4 times stronger than ours. You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Mines quite rural, not super fast but extremely reliable seeing as it's going though aerial lines battered about by wind etc. the exchange is about 3 miles away too but less than half that for most.
Un-capped too with AOL, £12 a month.
Loads of places pretend to be cheap for a few months and then rocket to be more expensive. _\Hennessey|Venom| F5/___
