What are your Internet speeds

[bootneck02]

Just completed a Internet speed test

and wondered what other members results were Like. I live out in the country and our Internet Provider is a service that is subed by Kent County Council and is a by sight wireless signal and is still faster than the BT fibre as the cabling from the box to the user is a mixture of copper and aluminum and the latter has high loss so many here have only 10mbps.

I am with TalkTalk. That said come November I shall be switching to Plusnet

When I lived in Maidstone I had my bungalow on site of a Kent County Council IT center supplied by Virgin and the download speck was was good in those days at something like 46 Mb/s and I thought that was good and that was 6 years ago

@Urmas lives in a country where they have proper internet, not something that is monopolised by BT

They have been ahead of us for decades

God bless Cameron for his promise to provide 10 MB by 2015.

Not that good but I'm told it's my local BT Exchange with it's antiquated equipment that throttles my service. I pay for a faster service but BT manage to put the kibosh on it.

Uh-oh, politics and religion in one sentence

Cameron's history now which is possibly the only good thing to have come from the result of our recent referendum

Oh dear, I do believe I got a tad political there, my apologies...

Mediocre internet here, as we're quite far from the cabinet. Still, it does me ok .

Kept forgetting to add my five-pennyworth to this thread.

Darn it mine has got slower. You'll notice that my internet speed is 92% slower than the rest of the UK. Great result for a citizen of one of the richest countries in the world.

Looks like I might get decent broadband speeds soon. These for £28 all in don't look too bad

Doesn't VF use the Openreach network? If so then you shouldn't be limited to just them.

Not really up on what is what but there is Superfast/Fibre in the street. Still deciding if I need just broadband or broadband plus tv. Probably will go for fastest broadband as I can get anything I want to watch from the net.
Still looking for deals and they may change before I am ready to sign up. I may be able to get Talk Talk to give me a great deal as I am at the end of my present contract.

Lets face it any speed I can get will be fantastic compared to my present crawl
