Broadband Speed Test
Just went to USwitch and used their online broadband speed test. My
Zen connection returns: Download = 10.1Mb Upload = 0.3Mb This download speed is way faster than the closest competitors Sky (6Mb) or BT (5.3Mb). Do my figures represent good BB performance? Average? Poor? MM |

Virgin is probably the fastest unless you go for BT Infinity, both are
faster due to the fibre optic to the closest possible point of course. The snag with all of this is that often the net itself gets clogged up and one cannot actually do much about that.

My Zen connection returns: Download = 10.1Mb Upload = 0.3Mb The actual speed shouldn't (in theory) change regardless of which ISP you use. It's the wire (interanal and external) and distance from the exchange that makes the difference. I've always found on-line estimated speeds generally lower than what the line is capable of supplying. So I would suggest if you had Sky or BT the speed would be the same as you are getting on Zen. Differences occur in peak time speeds (connection saturation) traffic management (shaping) and other factors an on-line test won't tell you about. Do my figures represent good BB performance? Average? Poor? Ask a few neighbours and compare. If you are getting 10Mbps on an estimated 6Mbps then it sounds pretty good to me. (average on a nationwide scale I'd suggest) Plenty fast enough to get on-line content i-player etc. but upload speed would limit how many usable skype style connections could be supported, especially if no traffic priority rules are in place (router managed) and the local network is being shared by multiple simultaneous users as found in a busy family home on an evening.

It can be very informative. My old speed was the highest in the village to begin with and after the bell wire tweak I am 50% better off now. I am on the end of a long piece of very old wet string in rural Yorks so 3Mbps is very good. No prospect of new real copper circuits up here.

If I was to get your figures on my package then something would be sadly wrong, but for your package those figures may be good. |

Average? Poor? hard to tell. All they tell me is that you are close to the exchange.:) That indeed! The story goes like this: I am in one of the most rural parts of Lincs. No shops, no scheduled bus service, around 250 dwellings. When I moved in (2004), the builder/seller said, "Broadband? No problem, John!" He then went on to spin me a line about how BT "...had promised to install BB Real Soon Now..." All a pack of lies. There was no BB in the village. For a couple of years I was logging on to that web site where all the lost souls in search of BB go, to see when/if any BB was planned anytime soon. There was potentially something pencilled in for a couple of years later. And then, one day dawned and we were surprised to see the area inundated with BT/Openreach vans laying cables like the dickens. Our lonely, isolated, ancient, unmanned brick exchange building about the size of a large garage took on a whole new meaning as it is within walking distance. Suddenly BB was available and it appears (on the figure I have provided) to be pretty snappy. To this day, no one around here knows what prompted BT to change tack. What I reckon is, someone either rich and/or famous moved into the village and demanded BB and BT said, "Tomorrow soon enough for ya?" The line is ultra reliable, too. I've no idea whether fibre was used in any part of it. MM |

Of-course BT will have you think otherwise, but there you go. Also remember it's not just top-speed that counts. Think of network congestion, throttling, customer service, etc. The niche ISPs like Zen, etc. typically don't indulge in this sort of stuff, of when they do, it's very well pulicised with defined limits rather than some wooly unpublished AUP..
