Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents?
Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.

The numbers don't seem to make much difference for everyday use. When using someone's PC that supposedly has 10 times faster connection you can't tell much difference except perhaps for very large downloads.

Interesting that this has come up - how can I find out my broadband speed? I switched provider a couple of weeks ago and it would be good to know what speeds I am getting.

When I click on the connection it says the speed is 72.0 MBps but that seems quite high?! Doesn't say if thats upload or download speed.

Using this 'Sppedtest' my results were as follows :

SKY
Download 10.22 mbs
Upload 0.63 mbs


Using this test:- Virgin

Ping 16

Download 3.5 mpbs

Upload 12.11 mpbs

I work for openreach (puts tin hat on) the broadband speeds vary depending on a lot of factors. Speed test and other sites like it will also vary results as the servers they use, distance from you etc will give mixed results and not a true factor to your actual speed. Living within a mile of your cabinet should get you decent speeds. Virgin is a seperate network though.

As for me, I'm currently utility warehouse (soon to be BT) getting 60-70 download and 18-20 up. Should be exactly the same once I switch.
