It might also explain the typo's all your words rushing around in hyperspace and getting muxed ip.
Na Less that's the mind working back to front
anyway your a computer buff, are those speeds good bad or indifferent, cuz when it comes to computers I only know where the on button is
Have you got the download right as it looks very slow?
Tried both.
1st one
Download 6724-Kb/s
Upload 375-kb's
2nd one
Download 5851-Kb/s
Upload 386-Kb/s
Ping 44
So which is giving a true reading, I've notice a lot of difference
when downloading documents, depending on the size of the doc, and what is on it.

These ping meters always give me a good rating, but my connection speed isn't always brilliant due to weak wireless signal in the back bedroom. Might be something worth bearing in mind if your results seem skewed.
It's good that they're trying to change ruling on advertising of BB speeds. People have been campaigning for it for ages; OFCOM have finally listened.

Neil I ain't got a clue hence the the thread, I was just reading about Broadband speeds and people not getting what they expected from there provider, I don't even know what speed I'm supposed to get really, as I have said when it comes to computers I know where the on button is, plus what people on here have been good enough to teach me. But to me my laptop does everything I want it too whether its right or not I don't know because I've never seen anybody else's machine in use
Well to dog keeps nodding in unison so it must be okayJaysay n I are much the same wi this.........it works so that'll do.

If you're using a phone line(as I am) will the results vary depending on how many people are on the internet using your local exchange?
Results for two runs on speed.io a few minutes apart-
Download 6840/6599
Upload 379/344
Connections/min1435
Ping 48/78
Big variation on ping??-Response time between computer and internet.
Perhaps Neill(who obviously knows what it all means) can explain what they mean, what should we expect and are our results good or bad? I know we would appreciate it if you can, Neill.
By the way, didn't someone once say you could rinse your keyboard if you spilt on it? Is that true?? The whiskey and dry doesn't seem to have done any harm(although the waste upset me) but will it be alright to leave it?
