Perkil8r Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Just wondering what sort of speeds folks are getting from their interweb. I'm on Virgin, I have no idea what speeds I should be getting as I haven't seen a quote from them for ages, here's my results anyway: >http://www.speedtest.net'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tweedledum Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Hi Mike, I believe that VM's slowest speed is now adv at up to 30mb.. The key words are up to!!.The speed you get is dpendent on lots of parameters and the contention ratio, basically the number or folk on your lan segment logged in and using the network at any one time. I bet if you ran the speedcheck at 2am you would get 30mb. You are still getting a great download speed! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red dwalf Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 (edited) this is what i`m getting i`m still on 20mb broadband although they are doubling the speed for free next year Edited December 19, 2012 by Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkil8r Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 How would I go about finding out what they say I should be "upto"? Not that it makes much difference but would be interesting to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perkil8r Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 I think I should be on 20mb as far as I can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I think I should be on 20mb as far as I can see. I used to be on 20mb virginmedia but they increased it to 30mb for free. As Damian says I don't think they do 20mb anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philjay Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Pah! thats nothing, how about this for pidgeon post speed- We regularly get offers of 12-30mb speeds out here in the sticks by various providers and all we do is say "go on then give us the speed, they do a check then backtrack. We are 12 miles from the exchange with ali cable, honestly wet string would give us more speed. Oh and this is a good day, when it rains the cable ducts flood and we get cut off In 2010 it took 10 BT Engineers 5 months and 2 cables to come to that conclusion and we were cut off all the while. We had 2 engineers tell us that we couldnt get broadband because we were too far from the exchange, our reply " Have you moved the exchange overnight then, cos yesterday we had 1 meg" BT Open Reach, dontcha just luv em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
