Title: ADSLGuide's Top 10 Fastest Broadband ISPs for January 2004

Eclipse is yet again the top runner in our monthly speed test results with a slightly slower average of 450.5 Kbps compared to last month's 450.9 Kbps. The average across the top-10 has however increased by 1.1 Kbps to 438.8 Kbps reducing the difference between the top provider and the one in tenth position from 28.4 Kbps to 23.7 Kbps downstream and from 7.8 Kbps to 3.0 Kbps upstream significantly narrowing the gap.

More on ADSLGuide (http://www.adslguide.org.uk/newsarchive.asp?item=1545).


My ISP Nildram has slipped down to fourth place :( Can't say I've noticed downloads taking any longer though.

Edit: I just ran the speed test and got some good results.
Direction     Actual Speed                True Speed (estimated)
Downstream    461 Kbps (57.6 KB/sec)    497 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream    244 Kbps (30.5 KB/sec)    263 Kbps (inc. overheads)

Maybe Nildram just tweaked the speed a bit ;)

ADSL..this is what it looks like from where I'm sitting  :D

Mehr auf ADSLGuide. Mein ISP Nildram ist unten zum vierten Platz kann nicht sagen geglitten, daß ich Downloads beachtet habe, irgendwie länger zu nehmen zwar. Redigieren Sie: Ich gerade ließ den Geschwindigkeit Test laufen und erhielt einige gute Resultate. Richtung tatsächliche Geschwindigkeit zutreffende Geschwindigkeit (geschätzt) stromabwärts 461 Kbps (57.6 KB/sec) 497 Kbps (Inc. overheads) gegen den Strom 244 Kbps (30.5 KB/sec) 263 Kbps (Inc. overheads) Möglicherweise tweaked Nildram gerade die Geschwindigkeit eine Spitze

Well the saddo's  [ me included ;D ] over a NDO have been sitting up waiting for the new pipe to go liven this morning. As life has been a bit sticky the last week or two, with so many new customers flocking for the fantastic service and support, we got bogged down abit.  



But now it's back to Whoooooooooosh

Sorry Hooky  :-X



Downstream    457 Kbps (57.1 KB/sec)    493 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream    243 Kbps (30.4 KB/sec)    262 Kbps (inc. overheads)

Hey Tony, it's not the size of your fat pipe that matters, it's what you do with it ;D ;D
