Back after years away

Well after leaving the ADSL slow line being on a market 1 exchange with no LLU and stuck on 1.7mb, I left and got my broadband by a local wireless business.

But today thanks to BDUK I now have a FTTC my result is:

when i do the BT speed test those its says 16mb download? yet all other speedtests are saying around 55mb, any thoughts?

another quick question where do you have the link to find out what ip profile is applied?

Thanks again.

Something looks to be limiting your http speeds

If you do a simple file download from our test files what speed do you get

the 10mb download took about 10 sec.

Andrew,

Have just rerun from a different machine and got these results also the same with the BT checker

its slightly slower but that's because my son is on-line, but looks like the device i was using was causing a bottle neck on the first tests, (windows 8 for you).

There are two different BT speedtests. The wholesale one is much clearer.

Run the speedtest at http://speedtest.btwholesale.com/ and after the test choose ‘Further Diagnostics’to get the profile.

The retail one tries to be 'friendly', but hides lots of detail and dresses up the profile as a guessed sync speed.

And if just the IP Profile is required, the poster can ignore all the red instructions.
