They on average claim that 65% of customers can at LEAST receive 3.8mb on the 8mb line. They don't reference exactly how much you 'should' get as you could use it against them. They deem anything over 512kb fair - lol - disgusting! That test gave me a score of 6.5mb but thats the highest I have seen any test give, on average tests come back aroun 2mb. I could suggest to them the stablisation period did not go well, as one of the micro filters also gave me trouble in that time. It wouldn't be so annoying but when you only live 0.5 miles from the exchange you kinda expect better lol!

Thanks for stating the obvious, I am unable to get NTL and our exchange does not have LLU's worth switching to. Can anyone else provide a more informed response?

Also I'm using the BT Home Hub provided.

Just recently signed up to 8mb BT Broadband, starting to feel it was a mistake already. Here is my current test speeds - :::.. Download Stats ..::: Download Connection is:: 2324 Kbps about 2.3 Mbps (tested with 5248 kB) Download Speed is:: 284 kB/s Tested From:: http://swiftjul04a.entadsl.com Test Time:: 2007/02/05 - 11:28am Bottom Line:: 41X faster than 56K 1MB Download in 3.61 sec Tested from a 5248 kB file and took 18.5 seconds to complete Download Diagnosis:: May need help : running at only 68.11 % of your hosts average (btcentralplus.com) D-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-4BG1E3OYT User Agent:: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; YPC 3.2.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30; InfoPath.2) [!] According to samknows.co.uk I am only 0.5 miles from the exchange (COSHAM) located in Portsmouth area. Therefore I would think I should be getting slightly faster speeds. You guys seem to know your stuff what do you think? I may call BT support but unfortunately they are more moronic then I imagined. I am no longer in the stabilisation period and have had it running for a few weeks now. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers!
