Hi
Sorry if this website has already been posted before
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:
http://speedtester.bt.com/

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
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 ?
