I don't know what your problem is but just try and get over it. Is this hurting you? no i thought not!

...it keeps a record of your previous checks and tells you your average, then it checks local services and costs and tells you what else is available, faster and cheaper etc.

Todays speed is 'download 11752kbps - upload 712kbps'

I have no idea if this is slow or fast or somewhere in between.
Can somebody please explain?
All I know is that talktalk promised me a minimum of 2 gb and bt say my line is capable of a maximum of 5.5 gb...so what does this speedtest thang mean?

Just to annoy all those who think this is a silly & pointless thread ......






Oh dear, my upload speed isn't that good today

Just over half speed on a 20mb connection, not bad for Virgin Media I guess. I normally get around 9mb so I'm considering downgrading since I'm not getting the 20mb I'm paying for anyway.
