Its steadily going up, I hope this is the start of someting beautiful!!

Least your not on thier LLU with 228Kbps up I guess.. there is hope!

OH MY GOD (again!)

I nearly collapsed when I saw this:

Ran several tests after that and getting the same speeds!!!

thanks for your help with speeds but have just got shot of orange(10 days time) hooray. i wish i knew then what i know now.....................

LOL

I knew it was too good to be true though, the BB is great now but went to make a phone call just after I posted that last message and there's somthing up with my VOIP Talk service now, was just getting an engaged tone at first, re booted the router and was then getting a dialling tone but not the correct one (i,e not the one with 5 little pips when you pick up phone which signifys the call is going out over the BB) meaning the call was going out over the BT network.

Hopefully sort itself out by tomorrow, don't fancy contacting Orange CS!

Fair enough but possibly an error as it's faster then 8mb even which surely isn'y possible! at least not on broadband max which is what I was infering as to the fastest speed for BB Max you will get is around 6.7mb on speed testing sites . Are you on LLU?

Cable. But I have talk to clients of mine that do get 8Mbps speeds on the online testers. Its just right now there's so much contention on the BTW network that during the day not many people do see the top speeds. But that's how its designed.

If we wanted true 1:1 8Mbps pipes, we'd have to pay

Well fair enough I was just going by what I was told by someone else that even if you're running at full speed possible on broadban MAX you wont get more than around a 6.7mb reading on testing sites.

I found the post, still don't understand fully

I checked the VOIP phone this morning and fortunately it was making the little pips before the dialling tone, so just a short term temp problem thankfully!

Second day in a row of faster speeds, though not great, all speed tests i've done are over 1.3mb!!!
