Steve C

I am located in Greece, normally test to UK

So which result would be correct please?

Speed test not logged in gives result of 4-7MBPS download. Login and speed test result increases to 19 MBPS. Log out and test results drop back to 4-7 MBPS! Why is this?

Report post · CID: 230306931105 · Posted 23 hours ago (edited) I upgraded to a VDSL (33MBPS) line a few months back. Have had many calls to ISP resulting in marginally better and more constant speed for a few days, then back to the up and down scenario. I have been running tests at 5 min intervals. The results can be seen here: https://testmy.net/quickstats/Steve C. They are up and down like the proverbial whores drawers. The results range from 4MBPS to 20MBPS(max). Average down 12MBPS. I am less than 1000meters from the exchange. My questions as follows: Are speeds variable on VDSL lines and if so by how much would be acceptable? If I kick me speed plan back to ADSL 24MBPS am I likely to get a better and more stable line, and if so what sort of speed should I expect? Unfortunately I cannot change provider, all the others run on this backbone. The equipment is the same, -the bill comes from another provider.
