Broadband speed checker

Hi all,

I'm looking for a good broadband speed checker - i think some of them
on the web are a little biast - or at least seem to be.

Some guy on here www.traffictalk.co.uk - told me to use BT's but I
don't think that's any good.

Quite a few people of www.traffictalk.co.uk say that - get on there
and sort em out!

:-)

Dan

The BT one dosn't work for me, I tend to use:

http://www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk/

But there is quite a few more out there, such as:

http://www.speedtest.net/
http://speedcheck.ispconnect.co.uk/
http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/
http://www.broadbandchoices.co.uk/sp...ited+broadband


Regards,

Doug.

That can max out my 24Mb Be Pro connection at just over 2MB down / 270KB
up. If you make an account you can view all your previous tests.

It's the ONLY one that's capable of reporting my connection's true capabilities.

That's fucking ridiculous but what els would you expect from Tiscali ?

" Your current bandwidth reading is: 1.14 Mbps
which means you can download at 145.8 KB/sec. from our servers "

And the bbmax test just returned a figure of nearly 7000 kbps !

That's NOT 'maxing out' by a LONG way depending on your conection statistics.

Try http://www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk/
