I generally try downloading 1080p trailers from the Apple website when I want to do that, that is generally a very fast mirror. Microsofts can be too, try downloading SP1 for Windows 2003 or something

Are you asking because all of a sudden you got really poor download speeds even with your connection fine?
If so your not the only one from a wide variety of ISPs and talk on web blogs seems to be bt faults somewhere in midlands.
If not ignore me :)

The reason for doing it is ive recently just got upto 8meg broadband with Toucan for Ã,£15 a month.......now I know its cheap so arent expecting that much from it. My router is connected at 8.2meg, so I thought id get fair fast downloads.........but for example, from the Microsoft website I get around 120KB/sec which is more like 1meg to be honest. Im still on this give it 10 days to settle and get the best line speed thing which ive read about. But at the moment im pretty disappointed with the speeds.

Try downloading several big files at once and see if it improves, sometimes when you are downloading a single file the server may limit your speed, could also be your provider throttling back too ;)

Wouldnt trust it but you can only give them a bit of time just in case. Unfortunately you arent assigned an exclusive 8mbit pipe you have to share.
That chocky orange isnt terrys and Im not sharing either! :D
Im supposed to have up to 8 meg broadband from talktalk but its never connected at more than two. Its rock solid at that though and still cheaper than pipex.

Alot of adsl providers are switching their products from "8meg" to "up to 8meg", and severa; state that you cant expect more than 2meg at peak times.
Plus.net are really taking the piss with this lately, using "traffic shaping" to limit ftp and p2p to 2kbps at peak times, which is like 4pm til 3am in reality.
Anyway, to max out ya connection get DAP or sommink and use it to do 3 or 4 dls at the same time. Dont rely on speedtests.

speedtest.net doesnt work properly with high speed connections. it does 8mbit then panics.
like yours is showing 1mbit connection there, but its going at 10mbit according to the download and upload.
To put it into perspective... Ive had 5.6megabytes per second download in the mac lab in cardiff uni :D lol... downloading fedora core :D

Not too bad for a 2mbit line. If you dont put your supposed actual line speed up then the result is pretty much useless for comparative purposes ;)

basically while my upsteam roughly what it should be my down seems to be limited or capped by error to a 512kbps connection
currently doing emails
They wanted the standard tests done but done more then that
I bet you anything though it just looks like someone at pipex has whacked a limit on me where there should be none.

pop your exchange in here (http://usertools.plus.net/exchanges/) and let us know what the VP status is,
red = congested exchange and the fibre optic backbone is over subscribed.

more hardware. All that red symbol is saying that there is high contention in your area. There is in mine too..but I have 4.5mbit speeds pretty much all day. :)

Top one is the one that counts.
Many have fix dates that are in the past too. The site isnt updated very often either making it practically worthless.
QuoteThe ETA fix time is: 15 Dec 06
Record last updated: 11 Dec 06

Guessing youve got the same as me (ADSL2+, which maxes out at 24) - youll never get 24. Youd need to be above/next to the exchange for that ;) If your not too far and the lines good upto 20, most people get 14-17Mbit.
Which is still pretty good over copper.... just need fibre now :D

I get quite bit more in upload but you have a little more down, I think the earlier test took another route 250 miles, this last one below went 200 miles.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but my connection recently was upgraded, something to do with LLU so my ISP says.
