Thanks for the response
re the sync speed - I am not sure - at least a week since I have been having this issue.
I Moved to BT Broadband from Bulldog 3 months ago - experienced the typical up/down nature while the service got established for the first 10 days and then I started to get some good bandwidth - 6Mb +.
The last few weeks it has been quite flaky - dropping connections etc.
When I try the speedtester site i get the following error in firefox
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at test.speedtester.bt.com:50301.
If I try it in explorer just get page not available - BT said something about it needs a certain version of Java but then could not tell me what it was!
Speedtest results from
http://www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk/ this morning and we have a good speed - so maybe i just had a glitch, or maybe it is too busy in the evening
Here are the other results that I have had
Date/Time Up Down
7th July 2007 07:18:19 382 Kbps 6329 Kbps
7th July 2007 07:05:59 365 Kbps 6347 Kbps
4th July 2007 22:09:59 324 Kbps 1046 Kbps
3rd July 2007 23:28:06 376 Kbps 1544 Kbps
3rd July 2007 22:14:13 380 Kbps 886 Kbps
3rd July 2007 22:12:56 382 Kbps 758 Kbps
Average Speeds: 368 Kbps 2818 Kbps
I will try the speedtest again throughout the day - maybe I am just impatient in the evening!
Will keep trying the BT speedtester site to get the IP profile
If the bandwidth stays at 6329 then i will apologise for wasting your time!
