texasboy:
Mine vary a lot from one tester to the other. Think most of them are rip offs,only trying to get you buy their advertised software. I can get only figures of 4-6 Mbs when I am on a site that is promoting  BT broadband. They do not like you to show them up. ;D.
Normally figures from 14-17 would be average,but did a little cleaning and defrag etc tonight and  found this one.


Only good until the next one.lol
cheers

Quantum:
What are your speeds advertised at? Mine is 16 Mbps so this isn't bad:



Given I had stuff downloading and uploading in the background and my computer busy computing primes.

texasboy:
Great numbers quantum, I`ll try another test, but dont expect the same results. Will post in a minute.



Virgin gives me 20Mbps, so this is one of their good nights. They were to update speeds a while ago.
cheers
Will try Maidenhead which is much further away from me. Back shortly.


cheers

Still respectable.
Even further away in Moscow.

Tried a few more to western USA, but dropped to avg 7,000kbps. Still downloaded updates from nvidia at 2.1-3Mbps.

Servers will limit the speed they let customers download or be at least share bandwidth between them. I don't find many single servers that will allow me to max out my speed connections, that's why torrenting can be very good when there are lots of healthy seeds.

Bovski:
This is one I did the other day



But as will retest for here :)
