Pointless, possibly.

Maybe its making up for something else I'm lacking......:')

Just came back and my Router shows a downstream speed of 2272Kbit, if thats right I think I owe Plusnet/BT a beer

[Bencrest]

I guess it works, but isn't quite as fast as I expected.

Still, a 3 meg file in under 15 seconds is better than I was on

Ben come on you know those sites don't run to spec.....

i would recommened plus.net to anybody. Im on plus net 2mb premier for 21.99 a months.

plus net are great if you have any problems as well. They email back within 24 hours, and on the website you can pull up all your info such as months usage, get a speed test etc.

highly recommended. I been with them nearly 2 years and rarely had a problem, but when i have been sorted quickly and efficently. much better than virgin broadband. Took over 3 weeks for them to reply to my emails.

Just tested out my connection with them, came out as 1.81 mbps and said i could d/l from their servers @ 230kbps.

I have to agree, I was on 'in the queue' at Pipex for 44 minutes last time - then 'click', then 'sorry, our office is now closed'. That was the last straw, but even leaving them was a nightmare, their email customer support is nothing short of apalling [when I received an email which actually had content, it was often irrelevant or contradicted what I was told on the phone].

Plusnet answered my first call, in what I would call 'peak-ish' time - 5:50pm - in 1 minute 56 seconds. They've been nothing short of helpful and friendly.

By the way, I don't work for them

Bencrest, try this speed test to see what you are getting.

I'm running mIRC, doing some eBay stuff, and I get :


1.84 Mbps
which is around 235.85 KB/s Your connection is performing spot on (92% efficiency) for a 2 Mbps service.

Hmm doesn't work for me, just went to the now testing bit and then jumps back to the start again.
