sky 8mb connection

See, they are just as bad as Virgin. and apparently my slow speed is because i have a torrent client. even when it isnt running it slows my connection down and its nothing to do with them.

Great tech support there.

Your local exchange is Alfreton and the maximum theoretical speed achievable on your line via ADSL Max is 6.35Mb which is 2 percent slower than this test shows you are getting.
Congratulations your internet connection is faster than that which you can achieve using ADSL Max!

Orange upto 8mb, but apparantly i am running faster that the local exchange allows me?! LOL

Running on a mighty fixed 0.5Mbps service, and so happens I just speed tested it after upgrading my new router with an alternative open source firmware. Results were 499Kbps down and 234Kbps up.

Is a corporate service though and so the contention is very low, and I see very predictable speeds at all times.

I was fleetingly upgraded to a fixed 1Mbps service, but had no end of reliability problems. In the end BT told me my line wasn't up to it and said they'd downgrade it again for me. However, I then worked out the problem was actually being caused by my very old wireless gateway causing noise on the line. New wireless router fixed it, just in time for the downgrade to go through the day after. Waiting for the regrade back up to 1Mbps now. Sadly I can't go any faster since I'm so far from the exchange .

I live out in the sticks and we were only able to get broadband last year, I am really far from the exchange so it can't get any faster!

b = bit
B = Byte

There are 8 bits in a Byte.

people are using the correct term though, as in b = bit.

I didn't say the they weren't (double negative.. bad english.. )

They are though.. some people using CAPITAL B'S where they should be using lower case... no biggie really though... people know what they mean.
