Speedtest.net thinks I'm with Carphone warehouse !!
 

As above really

I've just done a speedtest.net on my broadband and it thinks my IPS is the Carphone warehouse....... again !

blatantly not true but just wondered if there was a utility which would confirm my ISP or does AOL contract out it's Broadband services in the UK ?

Cheers

Its a lot better than mine, I'd be ecstatic if I could get that speed.

I get about 3.5 down and 0.35 up.

What about my speed then. :D

Actually it's more like 9.2 kbits dl speed, ping looks good this morning might have to play me some bc2.

thinkbroadband always consistant

FWIW, CPW bought AOL in 2006...

A bit faster tonight LOL. I never knew about CPW buying AOL UK !!

I wonder if BT can get any better speed out of my line (pingtest says very little noise). Do they send out an engineer to install it as I have heard their phone support is dire.

Shaun

you are not a BT customer, speak to AOL. you're line is a bit slow.

1. how far from your local exchange do you live
2. do you have any extension sockets
3. do you know which is your main socket
4. is your router plugged in at the main socket.
5. do you know how to log in to your router and check your indicated speed.

You lot get crap upload speeds :p
I get around 7.2 down and 1.3 up :)

Shaun

Also, if you are using a router try powering down for a few seconds and see if anything happens. Sometimes mine goes below 1 M/b and doing this usually gets the speed back up. Not got a clue why though :D

Have you looked at what speeds you could be getting on Sam Knows Clicky
Enter your post code in the search
Double click on your address on the map
Type in your house number.

Should give an indication as to what speed you should be getting.

Mines pretty much as it says on the tin: 10Mb down, 0.5Mb up

If I was getting your speeds and ping times Midlife I'd be threatning them with cancellations.

http://www.speedtest.net/result/773449990.png

I'm about 4 miles from the exchange

Not fantastic but at least it almost sort of semi-stable now: nearly...

Shaun

Hi Shaun

Samknows for my house shows similar to yours ~4Mbps so I reckon you should be looking at speeds very close to that. Did you try taking power off the router for 20 seconds? (If you have one that is)

Certainly looks like we're loosing out in the 'speedtest willy waving contest'. :D

50Mb/s :eek:

MMT WRX

For the last couple of weeks various vans with telecom type names have been laying what look like fibre optic cables down my way ..........in my dreams LOL

Shaun

Luck you :D and I thought 3.5Mb was fast. 50+ Mb :eek: i'll bet the porn sites don't stutter at that pimmo :nono: If you can still read this :D

lol .. no I found your mum and your sister very quickly :P

:D

:lol1::lol1:

Oi! don't humour him it wasn't that funny :D

He'll be posting pics of glam models next and passing them off as his girlfriend :lol:

Haha, shaun daft question but could the modem/router be faulty?
