Back to the original post...

Hi,

I have a Blueyonder 10mb broadband connection and there techie dept are telling me that the speed below reflects that.

To me the download speed is just over 4 1/2mb, where am I going wrong as they have said that on a couple of occasions now.

I was on the 4mb connection before this and it said 4mb when I ran the test then.

From ADSL Guide


Downstream 4307 Kbps (538.4 KB/sec) 4651 Kbps (inc. overheads)

Upstream 362 Kbps (45.3 KB/sec) 390 Kbps (inc. overheads)

Any thoughts?

    Well you can stop showing off, mine's only 512K :doh:
  • If your PC is plugged in directly, you might try setting your network card to 10Mbit Full duplex rather than autonegotiate.
  • Not as bad as my 28.8 K Modem :(

    Takes me like a minute to load this site!

    Stop making your posts too long !!!!!
  • I have ntl 10mB, CONTINUAL CRASHES!!! and only getting 3-4Mb conections

    Played merry hell with NTL who replaced the 120 modem with a 250 - now getting 8-9.5Mb conection as solid as a rock - the firmware version and model of your modem is key, pluss your optimisation settings.

    A tip for everyone dont take the service providers SH*T, demand they give you what you have paid for.

    (they always back down when you give them hell!!)
