12Mb down, 2Mb up but that's by wireless which is a convoluted path in our house.

if I went upstairs on a wire I know I'd get 60Mb down no problem.

im getting 30.3Mb down and 1.97 upload. all for £15.50 a month
(no landline, no tv) with virgin.
im looking at moving but a decent internet connection at a cheap price is a major deciding factor, and that means fibre optic

The test in the opening post is not reliable

If you want spectacular superfast ultra d/l, move to a flat above the Virgin exchange like me and my flatmate did circa 2010.

Then life completely changed and I live in the suburbs with Orange BB and I hate the internet.

*sigh*

Edit: Have been losing my shit trying to watch fun HD stuff on Vimeo so sacking Orange(for the third time in 5 years) and going BACK to BT. Again. Might try PlusNet. Much a' Much a' Same.

Virgin ruined my internet for 6 months so I can't even be nostalgic about that pricks cola let alone his bandwidth propositions.

Ok so I lied a bit on the first one and used my parents postcode (with AOL as the provider so nobody will take it seriously) but the speed available is a bit unlikely as I know all of the people on the postcode (3 houses) and nobody is getting over 1.5 even on a good day.

Our speed varies throughout the day but should improve when they connect us to the fiber that is being run around the streets.

Don't discount the bit between the box/pole and your house, in our last place that was more of an issue than anything else.
