its a well known fact that the UK Internet is one of the slowest in Europe and possibly in the developed world and we get ripped off massively.

i pay around £35 for that speed on BT and before i had Virgin and in the evening i was getting about 0.5mb due to 'more ppl being online'

Paying for 10mb and thats over wifi and my xbox is plugged directly in

Exactly my set up at home, just so consistent!

meh....
But this is done when all the businesses in the building are online below us and I'm pretty sure the line to our flat is actually two cups and a piece of string!

Haha! Still not bad thought Matt, although the pings a bit worrying!

Well it's not like I lag bomb people so unless that starts happening we have no problems Wink

Quite happy with the performance of the interwebs for me atm. Since I changed the stock router TT gave me for my own N Router I've not had any drop out problems

Aaah, TalkTalk.

No wonder! Razz

That's good, I remember when you used to have really bad problems where you couldn't connect or anything. Glad it's got better though! I just don't like TalkTalk, my nan had it and it just kept cutting out every 10 minutes!

...At home now!!

I also think people should try this;

While Xbox was running whilst connected to xbox live, but not downloading or playing on xbox live...

....Not a clue how good or bad that is.

IIRC, packet loss is the cause of lag. 0% seems like a pretty decent figure.

And 'A' can only be good, unless this particular speed test website is run by a North London school.
