My results :

Speed Down 444.28 Kbps ( 0.4 Mbps )
Virgin Broadband 2 meg service doing well then

As I live a fair distance from the exchange and have no cable tv running down our road, is there anyway to improve this? Wireless router upgrade maybe?? (D Link DSL-G604T)

.9 down, **** uall up


sh*te considering i,m on a supposed 2mb sign up

oops thats because AOL cant deliver 2mb to a 3.5mb capable line, despite saying they can and taking my money

Even when thay admited they were wrong, they hide behind the "up to 2mb" statement", despite the lack of MB's is down to them

Absolute shower...

All these test are pretty hit or miss.
Mine says two but I can download at 20 no probs.

Try this one, at least it gives you a picture you can post.
