OK, I think that's a first. Upload faster than download.

Well, it's not super impressive, but it is what I pay for so I can't complain. :)

Mine is the near enough the same as yours Gareth with the same ISP...I pay £26.15 a month for my Internet (I don't have TV or Phone) would be nice if it was cheaper ::)
Virgin are the only ISP in the UK who use coaxial cable from hub to home all other ISP use two pair copper cable...coaxial is best ;) 
There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

TBH I don't know how my bill breaks down; I do have TV and phone and I can't remember how much of the bill is for broadband. :think:

Not as good as some, but I think I'm about average.

Strange to see some upstreams higher than downstream... typically most connections have ~10x upstream as downstream... ie 8Mb/s 0.5Mb/s.... etc most people do not need much more than 1-2Mb/s upstream as they are only uploading the occasional video or large email attachment and most of their traffic is incoming, not outgoing. I am tempted to drop down a tier from 100/10 to 50/5... but I'm definitely happy with my connection otherwise.

I definitely need more up speed as I'm making use of more cloud storage services.

I am due to get a speed increase in the next couple of months, so my up speed should improve. It will still be slower than I want.

This is ours right now, well going through a wifi extender.  It's faster if I don't, but the signal drops off in the bedrooms.

This is my top speed, but the service seems to vary wildly. ::)



A little bit of an improvement.  Not in the same league as some folks here though. :o

Gareth, you should be due a speed upgrade soon. Virgin Media 30mb broadband users are being moved to 50mb.

Hold onto your hats people  :P.
Odd the Ookla test image doesn't seem to be working  :think:
DL=0.88 Mbps UL=0.42Mbps


I think Reg the 80 year old emphysemic that pedal powers our 'pooband' might of been having a coughing fit during the test  :think: , shall I reset the modem & see if that helps  :think: :D


DL=1.75Mbps UL=0.44Mbps


Now we are rocking it  :P :ahhh

My internet speed just got upgraded, and I also got free Asus Memo Pad HD 7 tablet.
My boys are very happy!

I think everyone that has over, say, 12mbit/s should share half an mbit/sec with me  :tu:
