I was getting this which is my advertised speed: 10 down/ 1 up




Now my new internet speed LOL. I just bought a new amplifier for my cable connection and it worked a miracle:



It varies from 18-28 actually, but averages out at around 23.

That is a lot faster than the internet I have.

Nice, mine is about 8/1.5. What's your data cap like?

Nice download speed Insilini.

Mines not too bad, except the damn annoying "fair use policy" crap they introduced after the contract, basically from like 2pm to 2am no unlimited downloads (about 50gb a month) otherwise they throttle you to hell for three months after if you have improved useage, yeah I raged alot at them on the phone.

My bandwidth limit is a measly 95 GB Iv been over for the past 2 months. My ISP doesn't throttle my internet they just charge $$$ to a maximum of $50 . My internet bill is about $50 without overage charges O.o.

Fortunately, no bandwidth limit here.

That you know of

Damn that's expensive Insulini

I pay £10/month for my internet, it's completely unlimited. O2 do have a usage policy, but I have never heard about them acting on it (their FUP is very vague, think it's to protect them if they need to throttle stuff). I can't check how much we use here, but it should be a lot, 3 students who are all heavy Steam users. Should be getting 20meg aswell, but my line isn't good enough.

there is a limit, ours is 300GB and fair usage policies apply always

Who are you with, Nannal?

enough said

Internet in the UK is a bit more reasonably priced for sure. lol

Wow, actually worse than ours.

Only when you have an "unbundled" exchange, otherwise you have to go with BT reselling packages, which cost a lot and are heavily limited. Also, unbundled exchanges are slow.

The other problem with UK broadband is we have a very low proliferation of superfast broadband (ie 20+meg fibre optic) cos no-one wants to stump up the cash to upgrade our phone network from copper.

Which basically means that quite a few areas, especially rural areas in the country, are severely lacking in high-speed connections.

Tiscali. Nuff said!

Yeah, not too bad today, hitting our upper limit of Bandwidth In Swansea I get like 30-40mb though so

Just read the OP...

Cable amplifier? I gotta get one of those

Having said that, I'm really happy with my speed. I get my advertised 10m/400k consistently regardless of the time of day.

yay fixed

Is that in Highnam?

no at my GF's

Meh

EDIT:

And to Gloucester

Oggy, I hate you

Sweet Mother of Skillers, Ogris! How on Earth do you manage that?!

By living in a country with good network infrastructure. You see, Slovenia saves money by only living in tents, allowing them super fast broadband.
