Broadband Website
« on: June 06, 2010, 09:16:45 PM »

Hi  :)

Sorry if this website has already been posted before  :blush:


Found It Today: http://top10.com/broadband/

They have a Speed Tester
I'm always a bit scared of trying new speed testers though  :-\
Any of you tried it yet?
Was did you think?

That looks like a sponsored site, and not to be recommended. To be frank, speed testing sites are two a penny, and it's rather pointless trying lots of different ones. I would suggest that you stick with the well-established and generally reliable ones:

http://speedtest.net/
http://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest.html?button

and for those with a BT-based connection:

Hi roseway  :)


Think I'll just stick with my usual speed tester then : speedtest.net  ;)

I did try the iO speed tester just once .. But didn't like it at all  :no:

Thanks!

Dont particularly like it, its just there basically to sell commissioned and selected ISPs.

Aside from that - its inaccurate and unable to cope with my upload speed.

I don't like the fact that they ask for your postcode before you are allowed to run the speed test.

I didn't go any further!

Talking of speedtests, I always found the Namesco broadband test to be fairly accurate but, over the last few weeks, I have found it to be inaccurate like in the example below where the download speed of 4335 is more than the sync with the exchange at 3999 !





Does anyone else get this ?
