Upload Speeds

When checking my up and downloads speeds on TBB or Speednet, the max upload I can can achieve is around 3.9Mbps. When using the BT Wholesale checker, it is around 8.1Mbps. Is this a similar experience to other FTTC users?

Could it be your PC ? I use a very crusty old PC which runs like a dog, the speed test below is pretty much what I always get on this machine, but shows much higher if using my sons laptop, a much newer machine. I know for certain that that my sync is stable.

Dont think it is down to PC. I have tested with both my home PC, which is a quite new Dell XPS with a good spec and my work laptop, a brand new Lenovo Thinkpad, again which I believe is a good spec.

The TBB speed tester seems to have some issues with FTTC connections. What does the Speedtest.net site say??

The Speedtest.net test give the same results.

Yes I have been having the same issue for a while.

Upload speeds on all other sites seem to be fine though including ftp uploads.

I will have to check the speedtest.net one again as see what happens.

If you have webspace anywhere, try uploading a decent size file to it and see how long it takes. Should give you a pretty accurate idea of the actual functional speed.

Here is the result from Speedtester.net

The TBB has always been inacurate for me, the flash version is better but still way off.
