stumpy Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 Would any BT Openworld ADSL user mind benchmarking their modems for download speed via this url I'm currently getting 80 to 120 kbps download, much lower than the advertised 512. I know the service is contended but even so. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli13 Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 around 1100kbps, but that's using my company's LAN thanks for the URL though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stumpy Posted November 4, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2002 Thanks all and Ranma500, interesting to see your results. I would be happy with that and it is near to what I used to get but my service now seems over contended and I will probably leave and go elsewhere. Cheers, SD.
