Chewy102 Posted November 24, 2008 Report Posted November 24, 2008 Moved house... New ISP... Any good?
G-man Posted November 24, 2008 Report Posted November 24, 2008 are you only paying for a 2 meg connection? Coz thats what you got!
Chewy102 Posted November 24, 2008 Author Report Posted November 24, 2008 are you only paying for a 2 meg connection? Coz thats what you got! I'm only on the basic Broadband package at the moment and still living out in the wilds just a bit closer to an exchange than before. Ping used to be my main problem with it regularly over 200. 48 looks good though? Wouldn't mind a weeks trial from admin before I pay again as I wasted my £20 last year...
G-man Posted November 24, 2008 Report Posted November 24, 2008 Have you run adaware or ccleaner and made sure all other apps are closed b4 you run your speed test? you might be able to get your ping down a little more.

Got 3350 download once Ad-aware was run. Might try it out on one of the free leagues before paying for UKDirt again

Got 3350 download once Ad-aware was run.

Mav Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 I did a speed test and even paid and downloaded the speedtest pc improver. This was because my laptop would loose connection on regular occassions or just be bloody slow. Anyway, I scored 1970 pre Virgin Media update, then scored 9419 downoad 479 upload with 46 ping in July last year. Now Virgin Media have sent me an e-mail this week to say I have been upgraded to 10meg from 4meg ??? (paying for 4meg). Tested results are here but its crap - definately not 10mb, no wonder I struggle online!!! Dunno what to do to get the service I require and pay for.
Chewy102 Posted November 25, 2008 Author Report Posted November 25, 2008 Raced on ATR tonight to test my connection and it seems fine. Ping sat around 44 - 48 all night. I did however regularly get booted from the server with a Multiplayer not suspended error. From memory tried to change compatibility but didn't help... Suggestions?
Lee Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 mav from what i have found out by parents talking (more raging) at bt customer service is that its anything UP TO the speed that they say so we are basically stuck in the middle. paying for 8mb and getting 3/4mb most days and sometimes it goes up and down???? weird
Knobby Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 Not being funny but my download speed is lucky to be half of what your getting Chewy and I never have any problems, I will only warp if I leave MSN or something on! ...... On a wireless connection.
The London Allstar Posted November 25, 2008 Report Posted November 25, 2008 Yer if you read your contract you will find that they all say UP TO the amount advertised. Only very rarely will you actually get that speed. I do believe you have the right to complain when its bitterly slow though.
LittleLeech774 Posted November 26, 2008 Report Posted November 26, 2008 this is what i get and im ISP is Orange i was also receiving something on MSN
bobbert325 Posted November 26, 2008 Report Posted November 26, 2008 (edited) I got this but i have no idea what any of it means? I do know that i'm paying for 2meg broadband and thats about it lol Edited November 26, 2008 by bobbert325

On a wireless connection. Yep I tried it out last night in ATR's Jolt and it was fine. Only problem was the Multiplayer crash every 2nd race and I'm led to beleive that was a dual processor issue which I now know how to resolve (fingers crossed) thanks to Kev McQ.

Dazza#289 Posted November 30, 2008 Report Posted November 30, 2008 Is anyone here with be internet https://www.bethere.co.uk/ i just looked on there website and they reckon they could put my download rate to 17.78meg. so i just wondered if anyone is with them or has been with them and what there like
stig727 Posted November 30, 2008 Report Posted November 30, 2008 (edited) Just took the test on the site above, got 4.63 the other day i got 1.something. i think its a bit of a rip off that isps can provide anything up to what you pay for its basically daylight robbery and should be illegal. also just did a speed test on speedtest.net and got a higher result, which do i believe? Edited November 30, 2008 by stig727
Budge313 Posted November 30, 2008 Report Posted November 30, 2008 I'm on virgin media and haven't had any trouble so far..... mine is cable though and suppose to be 20 meg...... And there pretty close to that everytime i test it... my signiture says it all
