Gah ... my broadband connection is absolutely crap at the moment. It's meant to be a 5Mb connection, but because of a fault on the line the maximum download speed I can get is little more than you would get on 56k dial up. There are tons of sites out there for speed testing, usually I like to use SpeedTest.net - just because it looks cool.
SpeedTest results
The official site that BT use for line testing and fault finding is test.speedtester.bt.com.
How to use:
- Disable all anti-virus software
- Disable all firewall software
- Visit http://test.speedtester.bt.com:50301/
- Enter your BT phone number and hit Go!
As you can see, I am getting a pathetic 100kbps instead of the 5Mb I am paying for.
Apparently it will be fixed in the next few days....
