Its going to be a while before I get to check out the speeds properly at home but thought it would be interesting to see what its like over here in Germany.

Seems like you get a good upload speed over here as well.

Then I thought about an RDP connection to home so tried that and got the following.......

Of course it cold be the RDP Session that is affecting the result (or a dodgy server) but it looks like I will be ringing Virgin Media when I come back around Christmas time, asking them to explain why their '10 Meg' isn't...



All the best from Hamburg,

John.

Mine has slowed to a crawl since last night. Strange thing is that my ISP is AOL, and this test claims it's the Carphone Warehouse?

That's a fancy old website. Been using the Gadget Show's test bu I'm sold in this one.


Thought I'd have a go atgetting the slowest result for LocostBuilders! Whilst away from home I'm using a 'Three' 3G dongle in an area near Slough with bugger all mobile reception...

The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make it moral.
