Topic: A different slant on a speedtester

[Rik]

Want to find out how others in your area are doing for speed? Then try:

http://www.top10-broadband.co.uk/speedtest/

It will test your speed, then show you the speeds achieved by others around you. Quite fascinating...

[Clive]

Very useful! 

[Rik]

Very irritating, there's someone down the road getting 21Mb, compared to my 3.7. I'm trying to work out how...

[chorleydave]

Hmm, not too bad.  I am on Tiscai, or TalkTalk as it is now.  Download speed of 5.6mb/s.  Second only to Virgin at the Chorley Exchange.

[Rik]

You should move to Milton Keynes. 

[chorleydave]

No thanks, Rik.  I'd rather eat cow sh1t than live in Milton Keynes, even though I would probably break all my teeth on the Concrete.    

Mind you, I could easily live in Stoney Stratford. 

[Rik]

Only five minutes away.

[Baz]

talk talk getting 7.5 and some poor soul getting 0.7 with tiscali

[Baz]

[Rik]

FTTC...

[Simon]

Mine was the slowest in the area, but the others were all LLU.

[Rik]

Don't feel deprived, one day you'll have FTTC. 

[Simon]

I'm on the list. 

[Rik]

So am I, but then again this is BT we are talking about...

[Simon]

True.    I guess I could go LLU.
