Reply With QuoteI got 6.4mbps. Loser!
New simple way to check your broadband speed:
https://fast.com
Mine? 2.8Mbps. I live about half a mile outside an urban area. Am impatiently awaiting the Government to fulfil it's promise to rollout superfast broadband to more areas (reiterated in the Queen's speech today).
I got 6.4mbps. Loser!
I got 37 is that good?
or was it 3.7? Hmmn didnt see any . though?!
Get in!
Excellent.
That's why I love Virgin Mega Super Dooper XXXXL light speed broadband. I pay for 100 meg and I've just registered 440 Kbps .

ADSL, 600m from the exchange and no sign of fibre.
93 for me
Just to clarify something, it's 8 Mbps (Megabits per second) to 1 MBps (MegaByte per second). The BT sales lady promised me I'd get 80MBps download and 20MBps upload, as did the engineer setting up my new Superfast Infinity. Curiously enough I'm getting around 5MBps download and 1.6MBps upload, so I think they were both wrong.

18-24 MPS although I was promised between 32 and 38 MPS by EE.
I have VM 100mbps
I got 38mbps when wireless and 60mbps wired.
73. Been on infinity for a good while now but seems to have speeded up lately

33 now, but earlier, sans congestion, it was 74 :-)
64 - thanks for the heads up OP
Middle of nowhere, rural Lincolnshire: 64 Mps :D
20 miles North of London. 1mb. Pathetic
Send a complaint email to BT's CEO gavin.e.patterson@bt.comOriginally Posted by Foxy100
Tends to prod his staff if theyve told lies and got it wrong - again!!
Good luck
Jim
very slow tonight, should hit 170 most days
55mb on a 4g network, I'm happy with that
Not too shabby.
Getting 12mbps on 3G
Thanks for the link OP, not seen this one previously
Some of these speeds are reminding me of a "Top Tip" in this months Viz: "Pretend you've got BT Broadband by drawing a buffering symbol over the centre pages of Razzle".
Just tried it and 5.6 Mbps on BT infinity, that is pretty poor and not what I was told when signing up
32 - 36 on Sky.
But infinitely 26 I was promised speeds of above 40, contacting them later.
Did you see mine Mark 5.6!
26 MBs for me. Should be 37 according to talk talk. Seems fast enough for what I use it for.
Just re-checked tonight and it's 37.... happy with that

100 for me.
Good call, I may well do that.
"A man of little significance"
Hmmmm 240.
But I am on work's network in the office. :)
I'll try from home later - which will be dire :(
4.5 in the middle of now-where.

They will have used the key words of "up to" while saying that.
We went to BT recently and the speeds are shocking. It's gone up since I complained which I'm not sure is a coincidence or not!
But when I first raised the issue, BT said that in my contract the minimum speed they can deliver is 512kbps and as I was achieving a massive 650kbps it wasn't an issue. I'm not pretty steady on 6mbps which is enough for our houses usage I guess. Would upgrade to infinity but don't want to pay £49 activation fee!
75 for me
We do have fibre at my office so to be expected.
Still got it
As you're in Dorset you're lucky to even have broadband. Whenever I had to go there to visit clients I rarely found that I had a mobile phone signal. Used to see lots of hand-made posters about upcoming witch burnings though.
Ha! I'm in Dorset now and have fine mobile signal and 6.6Mb/s on non Infinity BT broadband so not too terrible!
My wife and I have been with EE Fibre Broadband for around a year now - speeds are fine at around 35mbps
Having a morning routine of rebooting the router when the connection drops isn't fun though.
Is this supposed to be better than Speedtest (for example) in some way?
I get 120MB/s on Fast and 147 on Speedtest (My wifi constrains the 200Mb/s internet connection).

Just checked our speed. 1.9mbps. Thank you BT for making me use my 4G Connex from my mobile.
This is why we write to Patterson and his Newcastle based team to complain. A new build area and BT will get to us - eventually but we're not on their list to progress quickly. And the new build area is getting 130 new houses.
BT = Bloody Terrible!!
13. Nowhere near what I was promised or signed up to when I took out the contract with my ISP. I will try again from home and see if I have reason to moan to both BT and EE although, to be honest, it is bloody difficult to know who is responsible for what.
JFTR, this specifically tests your download speed from Netflix servers.
Unlike other speed tests out there, it doesn't test anything else. Upload and ping time are also important for general browsing, Skype and gaming even more so. However, knowing your Netflix download speed is in itself a useful figure to know. It just might not be the same as your speed connecting to other servers.
Ditto mate, 11 on the Marsh in deepest Suffolk.
Trust all is well Andy.

Gotta love cable
I've got 35 MB now. Throttling is a real pain sometimes.
Ha very true, we should be thankful to have electricity really
You'll be telling us that you've got running water next!
15.77 down and 19.36 up on Speedtest, 14 on Fast. This is Sky Fibre! :-(
8.9 looks mine
Happy enough as it's free via EE
7.5 but if I create a hotspot from my phone and use the 4G I get 55. Bloody rubbish.........
How the hell did they buy that domain name in 2016???
8.6 for me. Not too bad in a little rural village. Although my pal up the road gets 40 odd with the same BT Infinity. Not cool.
they also have www.slow.com that points to fast lol
