How SLOW is your 10mb Internet Connection

[marshall]

I remember the days when 10mb was 10mb, I can't believe the performance i get with Virgin, its shocking!!!!!!!

Can anyone beat this????? :FRIGHT:

[marshall]

THANKS MATE, make me feel better!!!!

 

[toeknee00]

Jesus wept.....

How in gods name do you get that speed...???

That is awesome...!!!

 

[bigeasy_uk]

its seems the dublin server is pretty quick, much faster than maidenhead and london anyway


and paris is quicker than dublin

 

[marshall]

its a little better on the server in Paris, but it should be much faster than this



Dublin is even better, but I'm still disapointed!!

these speed tests are not reliable. to get a true reading, download from newsgroups. that will tell you how fast your connection is

 

[scott-ayling]

i dont trust these speed tests.i download from newsgroups and hit 1200kbs constant on my 10mb

You've reminded me I need to get some sort of sub going to usenet since I've been used to my ISP providing a basic news service. Now that I'm on Be* I'm newsless so I'm looking at either Giganews or Newsdemon, which one are you connected to?

try Newsbin and set the server addy as news.tesco.net and try that m8, it's all free.
Every little helps

go for giganews, i have never had a problem with it. full speed constantly.

that news.tesco.net server is free, but it doesnt hold very many of the groups. seems to be the same as virgin media newsgroups. absolute pants in other words.

cheers cur1y/deedie

I think 12 quid a month is doable for giganews now that I've stopped drinking during the week!

 

[skunk1111]

i think the free news servers only have a 3 day retention period unlke 45 days for a paid server.

 

[deedie]

120days with giganews

 

[Jooooles]

im sure virgin are clamping down on peek times and are giving limits also if your using a newsgroup in the settings us 8 connections not 1 you will run at max thats possible for your bandwith
