How fast is your internet according to Speed Test?

[GeorgeHillier]

Just upgraded again.

Could you share you internetz with me plz?

 

[Boozad]

ohhh happy days! didn't know we could upgrade for free, just upgraded mine

The upgrade from 60mbs to 100mbs was free, the upgrade to 150mbs cost me about £4 extra p/m.

I have 120mbs and it was indicated that it would be free. Quite silly though, why would I need to request a free upgrade? it should be given by default, I was not aware of it until you posted your new speed.

Ooh, I'm on the Virgin 120Mb. I'd love to phone up and get the free upgrade, but a) the account is my housemate's and b) I have to move out in two weeks.

you can do it online, it would take around 2 working days.

 

[Yamikotai]

The account's not mine, and my housemate has moved out. With only two weeks to go for myself it's probably not worth it

Just upgraded again.

This is bloody insane!!

 

[keynes]

This is bloody insane!!

And only faster than 90% of GB. Imagine what the top 10% have.

 

[Yamikotai]

A friend of mine gets 300Mb/s synchronous at his uni digs (Oxford Brookes). Then of course unis themselves often have at least many multiple 10Gb connections to the outside.

It's because you have got to "believe in better"

Just upgraded again.

I find it hard to believe that 9% of Britain have more than 160Mb broadband... Where do virgin get their figures from?!

 

[keynes]

can't beat Boozad on download speed

 

[SlimCini]

I thought Virgin were doing the upgrades automatically and free without the need for you to ring up? Mine says it won't be until Autumn time...

 

[SlimCini]

can't beat Boozad on download speed

But only 7% of Britain are faster than you (whereas 9% were faster than him at the time), so you beat him on the arbitrarily meaningless percentage front

Those aren't Virgin's figures mate, they're Speed Test's.

Upload times are considered as well, I would assume that's why we got different figures. I also managed to get higher download speed I was streaming a movie when I did the test :whistling:
