Lucky sod. Our phone line was installed in prehistoric times, so although we have the potential to sync at 18Mbps with our distance from the exchange and line attenuation we only get between 12-15.5Mbps depending on the mood of the line. It's currently Bandwidth (Up/Down) [kbps/kbps]: 1,287 / 12,784 which is strange as it usually syncs at around 14-15 in the morning and then randomly decides to disconnect sometime late afternoon and syncs back at around 12-13 on reconnection.

Is your router plugged into the test socket?

Virgin Media users will get the best results from the London server. Just a bit of info for you there.

That's exactly what I mean. Our telephone line pre-dates the existence of test sockets :).

You plug your modem directly in to it and you are connected straight in to the phone line. No extra devices or wiring in-between.

This is a bit odd, we pay for 8MB and our line is meant to be able to handle 6MB

It happens from time to time. Speedtest just screws up and gives a wrong result.

I tried using Speed.io as a second source, but the given results are way screwed. The Speed.io FAQs imply that it will only work with connections up to 50 mb/s... and there isn't much information elsewhere on the site because it's a bit... bare. Can anyone verify this is indeed the case? :eusa_thin
