I've just returned from a weeks holiday at Center Parcs De Kempervennen
Now because the Netherlands is not a feel at home country on Three I opted to pay for a weeks wi-fi pass, I didn't expect it to be up to much but speed tests showed I was getting 23/4Mbps which is great for a holiday park, and on Wi-Fi. Yes I know I should be enjoying myself and not reading the net, but the wife and kids like to 'rest'.
That was until I tried reading the forums on Kitz, or looking at My DSL Stats website, it would seem that almost any UK website would grind to a crawl or just completely stall. So I tried a speed to test to the UK, one based in Sittingbourne that I use for testing my home connection and got a lowly 13/3.4 kB/s! Testing again immediately to Antwerp gave 12.8/2Mbps, so I don't think it was contention on the parks network, also to back this up when kitz stalled I could easily google and get results, go back to kitz forum and we'd be on a go slow again.
So what would cause the slow connection to the UK?
