If your downloading and do a speed test should it be extremely low.
Im supposed to be getting 20 - maybe even 30 according to the VM site for what im paying per month.
But my speed seems really slow today. Ok so i am downloading stuff but shoud it make that much difference
hers my speed test result!
taking the proverbial P
thought id do another one just to check
 
To get an accurate result you will have to make sure that no other internet activity is taking place. Whilst your downloading, the statistics on your speed test will be affected because the bandwidth being used for the downloads wont be included.
 
this my speed 50 meg for the same price as 20

You know what's funny... I know I'm on a T-1 connection and the speeds are slow.... something is "restricting" my speed I would think. ;)
 





This is what I get when I check mine, on cable network.

What I am wondering, is why your ping is so high.

this is mine, I pay for a 3 meg, but they have upgraded twice now, and they tell me I have 8, so I is happy, sorry for you linny.
has either of your boys got games consoles linked to the net when you are running your tests?, as this will slow you down too, also other computers, and downloads in progress will slow it down.
 
I dont know why Linny, but this thread made me get on to the phone to Virgin Media after i seen Bobby's post about his 50MB connection.

I've all the VM services known to man. I sent an email earlier during the day saying that i'm not happy with my current 10MB connection [1.2MB download speed/ 60kbps upload]. The agent told me that i can go for an upgrade from 10MB to 30MB, and by doing so i will have to receive one of there new routers. So, the deal is, i will continue to pay what i'm paying now for the first 6 months, and then after that there will be a £5 extra to what im paying now. But he also goes, if i didnt want to continue with the 30MB service then i can go back to my older package, and then ofcourse send the equiptment back. Said to him i'll have a think about it and will call back.. :)

I dont even know what it is i've to think about? lol
