and yet you have a 70 mbs results from testmy.net when im pretty sure i saw that your on a 50 mb connection?

Just thoguht id continue on this Strange how south africa is not much slower then i get to parts of the us, when its half as far again the distance from dallas tx? And newzealand at over 2 times as far I feel somewhat skeptical that its my isp to blame for connections to the mid/south of america being slow when newyork hits faster. it seems as though the poor routing is mid/south America to Europe? I could be wrong though Please take note of the distances on the test results

sorry for wasting your time then to upgrade from 50/5 mb/s to 100/10 mb/s is only £10 (~$15 ish) a month extra, would I notice any extra speed to the U.s. do you know; or would be it near enough the same? http://shop.virginmedia.com/broadband/up-to-100mb.html

D; I really didn't think there would be that much difference with there being fiberoptic cables joining the countries i didn't think that means any data was lost

Im in england if that makes any difference, (i know not to mention other speedtests) but on speedtest.net to dallas t.x. i get a good 30 - 35 mb/s on a 50 mb connection

Sorry if this has been posted about 3 times by the way, the other posts can be deleted, just i posted and it wasn't showing up even when i waited 5 mins :c

My speedtest results seem to not be showing accurate, I have a 50/5 Mb/sec connection and i get 6.2 MB/s transfer rates on downloads but my speedtest results are as follows Download Upload The upload speed is showing accurate, but the download is way off? It happens in safari + firefox

Ok, On speedtest.net i get 50/5 Mb/s which is the speed im paying for Download from websites go at 6.2 MB/s which backs this up yet on testmy.net I cant see to go above 5/5Mb/s download upload Anybody know whats up with that? the downloads are way off being accurate but the upload results are fine? Happens on Safari + Firefox I dont think its the computer at fault as the specs are good enough
