Hi Mike, 

 

 There is one way to find out how much latency is effecting your connection , test at all the servers here at testy.net  Run a ping and traceroute test to testy.net, 

 

Post your results so we can get into the middle of it with you yes ?

Hi mudmanc4, The latency is running at 667 - half a second basically - but the overall speed is not to bad. Not much good if you are trying to bid on Ebay ! Your bid gets there way after the auction closed ! The company selling the package offer 20mb down and 6mb up - I've yet to find a test site that even gets anywhere near that figure. The testmy.net tester is returning a down speed of between 1.8 and 2.2mbps and an upload of 200-227mbps - pretty rubbish really considering the costs involved with installation etc..

I'll keep you updated

 

good evening  Michael ? , or Hi M8 from Biggles UK ,

I am intrigued by a UK Sat connection. v. rare in the UK,

Seen a lot of 56k dialup ,adsl, fibre. Fttc ,Ftth but never Sat ,

that is totally new to me , please post more details ,

But I guess TMN is the right place  for Sat questions , and never did me any harm only

good from  dial up through to Fibre to the cabinet ,

 

Hi Biggles, You've not heard of Satelite Broadband ??? A company called Tooway are installing it all over the UK and have been for a while now.

It's great out in the sticks where there's no chance of BT laying fibre or even telephone cables.

Cheers

Just thought I'd say a big hello from someone in the UK who is looking for a decent broadband speedtest site.

Hope to speak to folks later.

At the moment I'm trying to find out if I can check the download speed of a Satelite connection using the checker on here ? Will it fail because of latency issues ?

Anyone help ?
