    I'm with F2S as well. Heard loads of things about people having speed issues recently, but mine seems to have been ok. How has it affected you?

    Oh boy. Well from December to February, off peak I'd get about 0.5mbit downstream, the during peak hours it'd be slower than dial-up. And around 5-10% packet loss at all times so gaming went out the window.

    It's getting better now. We're getting regraded for free back to IPStream from LLU, then will hopefully got for Max when it's ready. To be honest though I may go back to Eclipse, the experience hasn't been a pleasant one.

    Check out the Freedom2Support forums, you'll see all the goings on.

    I am with Ukonline on thier 22Mb service. I am 2.7Km (line length) and get a connection speed of 13033kbps. Downloading is 1.3 Megabytes per second on a good connection from places like Adobe, Microsoft, and other major companies or websites. On thier 8Mb service I had full speed (not the ADSL2 service the 22MB is) and could max it out no problem.
  • My 8MB has been less than 1/2MB for the last week :-(
    In the last few months the best speed I've seen has been 4-5MB, but not for long and only in the wee small hours, even though it's perfectly capable of 7 1/2 MB and I'm just yards from my exchange.

    Yes, I'm with F2S too

    I find this test better than the one on adslguide

    I also recommend you try Tweakmaster for a free trial. Try the connection wizard and rne the various tests.
