Will try another with FIOS and Cell phone and post them here.

First one is with Comcast BB near Chicago.

Image

This one is via FIOS in FL remotely.

Image

This one is for AT&T. What a joke connects via New York. Piss poor considering how much I pay for it.

Image

AT&T again; this time it connected via Kansas.

Yeah similar to mine, Sky apparently have the capacity to crank up my upload speed, according to the tech guy, so phoning them in a week to follow it up, apparently most people do not care about there upload speed lol

can get slightly more than this when there is noone on my public ftp (ftp://aero.exotica.org.uk/). Thinking of switching to virgin or bt infinity to get some more upload speed.

Hawsey, click on the 'Share this result' button after the test has finished and then click the 'Forum' button then click on the 'Copy' button underneath that. It should then change to 'Copied' Come back to here and Right Click in the reply box and click 'Paste' and you'll see it as [IMG]http://www.speedtest etc etc

And that's a good speed. 2 minutes after doing that test I did another and it was down to 2 mbs :roll:

Anyone interested in tips ,advice on getting best adsl speed out of a line?
Sometimes just repositioning the router or correct filtering can improve things by a couple of meg .
If you only have one main socket and no extensions there is nothing much you can do tho .
