1212456 2011-06-27 04:21:00 When I test my BBand download speed 11.40mbps and upload speed of 0.65mbps. Is this reasonable.

I'm not sure what telecom claim to be an acceptable rate. I realise it will vary depending on time of day and traffic. However how do we know if we are getting what we pay for?

1212457 2011-06-27 04:33:00 Sounds reasonable. It's around what I get.

Welcome to PressF1 by the way.

A LOT depends on how far away from the exchange/cabinet you are, so ask your neighbours what they get.

1212461 2011-06-27 09:16:00 Hmmm...

A bit better than earlier tests I have made.

1212464 2011-06-27 10:54:00 Hi Cinnie, welcome to PressF1.

As has been said, it really depends. If you're a long way away from the Exchange or Cabinet, then you'd likely (as I do) get around 1mbps. This is because ADSL gets slower the further from the source you are. You get 11, so you're apparently pretty close, so I'd say you're getting quite good value.

Telecoms rollout is shooting for 80% of the country (Is it 80%? I think it's 80%) to be on speeds of between 10 -> 20mbps by the end of this year, so that covers you!

If I was getting 11, I'd be stoaked right about now :p

our cabinet's at the bottom of our street, about 50m away.

before they 'upgraded' it(moved it closer actually) speedtest usually topped out at 4.5-5mbps, now it tops out at 6-6.5mbps.

'should' it be any higher??, im assuming the router has a part to play?
