Mine with BT Infinity is:

Download Speed
37Mb Upload Speed
6Mb

Happy with that for what I use my PC for

Nothing like rubbing somebodies nose in it when they are struggling.

Eh??!!

No, just being informative like most of us are on this forum to help a fellow member make decisions.

Makes a change from yet another "outrageous" thread!

As said, if FTTC/Infinity is in your area, its a viable way to get a decent speed boost, seeing how far you are from your local sExchange.

It is a fair amount (I get the same speeds here), but if the server at the other end can only manage to serve it up at 10Mbit then anything else is a waste.

I'm not a big downloader, but when I want a large file, I want it NOW . The days of waiting hours for a MS SP are over . Generally, the likes of MS, Debian/Redhat derived Linux have decent bandwidth, more than enough to max my lines

For me, FTTC type speeds, really make cloud storage genuinely feasible and useful, and VPN'ing to work decent (Virgin are rubbish for that, sadly, as the upload is just a tad too low). I'd rather see my upload increase than my download - plus you lot would be happier if my upload was quicker, when you are caning the tits off OOF


As an aside, up until April 2011, OOF was served over a 256kbit link  , did anyone notice .  Optimise, and you can get decent speeds from low specs...

I agree, VM are using the boost to 150Mbit to partially justify the next price increase that is due in February but I would be a lot happier with a 50/50 synchronous line TBH

A friend of mine ran a commercial website and forum for ages on a 512/256 home connection for ages when ADSL first came out and nobody noticed, and paid £60 per month for the privilege at the time.

My tablet on WiFi is only 6 down and 1.3 up, but seems fast enough for what I use it for.
