New ISP, are these speeds any good?

[Jericho]

Just got virgin media this morning, the server exchange is right outside our house. We got told that within the next 4 months our 4mb max will be going up to 10mb.

This is not a brag thread, I was just wondering...

Is this a good speed? When we were with BT Internet we were getting 0.5 - 0.9 download speeds. Pretty poor. Just wondering if these are good speeds? Im not very big on the ISP front.

It's reasonable, mine is close to 5,000 kb/s download speed which is seems good enough, so that will be reasonable too

[kk.]

better than mine by about 7X. you should be able to get top speeds as its right outside your house

Well if you're on the 4mb service which you say you are, and are on ADSL, that's a pretty darn good speed. I'd say that you'd be able to get the full 10mb when you get upgraded

Mines 8mb, with o2.

and I live around 3 miles from the exchange, so I get around 5.5 MB, I'd say you're getting a bad deal, until your on 10mb. 5.5 is just about able to use for me.

VM does not do 8MB do they?
I though they did 2, 4 and (10 or 20)

You can find out your speed by connecting to your VM box by going your cable box address: http://192.168.100.1 username and password are both root or admin i cant remember

Edit:

Here is TalkTalks 'up to' 8MB


Meh I hate talk talk

The speed's are not correct on the router, you have to measure them yourself correctly.
