Holy cock, JANET's changed a bit since my day.
I remember managing to up the speed on my terminal from 4800bps to 9600bps and thinking my god, the raw power! Kids of today, etc.

I live in a 'Brawdbaaynd Poverty Area'.
It has been a bit quicker last couple of months mind. get up to about 6.4meg now and then. Speed is woeful in the early evening though, iPlayer etc unwatchable quite often.

Quoted as being 30 mbps so happy with that. Still doesn't seem fast enough at times.

At work; at home it is woeful, like the 3rd world, only slower.

So far I have the slowest internets on STW!

Must be some people still using dial up somewhere?

On the upside, based on that figure, I'll wager you have the highest shite-per-second rate on STW.

Paying for up to 20, and my router says I'm getting 17. Speedtest says I'm getting 7.

Ours is dire.

Mine is absolutely awful. Unreliable and slow -- this is a good day. About 2 miles from a major urban centre, too!

Something else on your network using up bandwidth?

No, that'll be you. Oh look you just did it again! More shite!

Elf - I thought everything was brilliant in London! Why have they supplied you with two tin cans and a piece of string instead of broadband like the rest of us?
In fact, I get a better result from the other side of the world

Because British Telecom what owns the hardware and the exchanges (what were built using taxpayers money originally) chose not to invest their profits in more hardware and instead provide a crappy residential service whilst offering a far better quality service to Canary Wharf, which runs off the same exchange. This area has the highest line contention rates in the UK, way beyond the 'industry recommended guidelines'.
BT was privatised with the illusion of 'increased competition' and other such guff. This is a fallacy, as they have the monopoly on hardware, still.
Guess who's to blame?

Just in the process of switching from Pipex/tiscali/TalkTalk to Virgin, so hoping in a couple of weeks time those figures will be 4 and a bit times better.
