Hi,

FYI: I'm on Sky 16MB Unlimited using their Netgear Wireless Router and apart from the odd drop in speeds on some days I get really good speeds wire free.

From todays test

Download Speed: 9635 kbps (1204.4 KB/sec ) Upload Speed: 561 kbps (70.1 KB/sec )

Think youself lucky I live so far from the exchange I only get 500K and that was touch and go. Nothing to do whit the OP's question I just like to moan about it

Also tells you what ISPs are available to you and which services are available

It says I am getting between 1.2/ 1.3 Mb. And that I should be able to get 5.4 Mb on my line.

I suppose 5.4Mb is worth an extra fiver, which is what sky will charge me.

So, I assume that the fact I am using my laptop wirelessly won't affect the speed, i.e I will get about 5.4 mb on both the pc (wired) and the lappy?

Just remember it stating you "SHOULD" get 5.4 doesnt neccesarily mean you WILL get that. There are a lot more factors to consider

Really?
I thought mine showed all of the services available in the area, including the speeds available from your exchange and a map illustrating your proximity to the exchange as well as the distance. :rolleyes:

It only tells you: example, 1mb or greater......not very useful, the other site shows maximum, ie up to 2mb, which is more useful:p
