Can everybody stick to speedtest.net as stated in the original post please as it seems a bit more reliable.

Paying for 8meg, lancashire on talktalk
Speed.io gives chance for the speed to balance out to give a true speed whereas speedtest grabs the speed straight awayQuote:

The server your downloading off is what it depends on.
930kb/s is just under one meg I thought..Quote:

but i can never download a file at 8,000kb/s..
or anything close to that lol
ino it's cos of servers and stuff and distance but stillllll
im not sure
probably wrong
Servers might not have the ability to offer 8mb downlaod speed, so.
But my download speed should be 600KB/s max... :SQuote:

Thought so, I got 930KB/s and I'm on 6 meg lol. :P Weird...Quote:

i always thought that kb/s on download mean the same as d/l speed on speedtest and that lol
so when i was downloading and seen it be 300kb/s i thought i was getting sucky download speeds because my speedtest said 6000KB/s lmao
:D
Telefonica suck -_-Quote:

Meh, they're not too bad... they don't care if you download loads, they don't care what you download... speeds are usually what they say. I have no idea if they're fast or slow, but the sentence made sense. :PQuote:
