I see your 34 and raise you 32 - I've somehow managed to beat myself. Better ping and upload though:


Actually - my server has changed for some reason, perhaps that explains the difference...

funny thing was that same connection (three dongle) was faster in a small village....now have moved to a large town and its slowed down alot

Hold on, VP is in Birmingham? I thought Prinny and VP were always chilling out watching old films. Confused.

erm...325 is not a "better" ping than 158! Lower is better there!

2 more months to wait to get infinity you should be able to get it there prinny might get rid of that turd of a connection (costing me ?116 to sack off talk talk (bollox) and about ?33 PCM but was paying ?25ish anyway and they have said I should get 38mb/s (currently about 4.5) but I do only live 700 yards from the new infinity exchange

The higher the number the better something is, and don't you go trying to tell me different!

Better than expected:



Not bad for a computer connected via a wireless G network either.

Tiscali. I'm out in the sticks, but we have a BT switch in the village about 10 minutes walk from me house. I think the major issue is contention, as I have had up to a 7MB download speed



Tiscali are ok - and pretty stable for me but (as documented elsewhere) their support is beyond ****e.

[eastyy]

Noooooo! Tiscali UK are part of TalkTalk. Run for the hills. The reason for the download speed is TalkTalk.
How much do you pay for that?

eastyy!

I meant k0pp0 actually.

The "eastyy!" was just sort of yay for your result - bit better than what you are used to.
