Yep that is correct, but when you get speeds from a tool like fro client etc.... they have taken into account the bit/byte conversion etc...

Some will even show you 320Mb / 3.2MB - either way the speed test shows over 300, not really going to cause a stir about a few meg.

They can't take it into account. 320Mb is not equal (any where near) to 32MB (assuming you got the decimal point in the wrong place). The 2 are not synonymous. As long as you are measuring in Mb/s and it is giving a decent speed then that is fine but the MB speed you originally stated is nowhere near 324Mb - the conversion was just plain wrong.

Yeah my bad I rechecked - it does hit 321mbit

that's awesome. I am really jealous now.

Come on OR fix my 18 blocked ducts already.....

That's a lot of blocked ducts.

More likely your local council holding up the works

So it's slower than VM who give me 383mbps all the time. (now anyway)

And a lot more expensive!

I didn�t even know VM did a 400MB service.

I couldn�t go with Virgin media simply because of the static IP issues.

Neither did I and if they did it would be displayed as 400Mbit not 400MB
400MB is 3.2Gbit.

He's paying for a business line can't be compared to you're residential VM connection which at any point could run into congestion issue's Also he could now order WBC FTTP at his address now should he need a 2nd line and in First quarter next year will offer 1 Gbit.

Unfair really as his SLA and guarantees will be much more robust than you're residential VM.
