Honestly these people that boast about their 10 Meg connections......

Thats it, I'm posting my results from work on Wednesday where we have a 1 Gbps connection and I get about 55 Meg to the desktop.

Your upstream is looking a lot better today, Tina.

Tina · May 18, 2010, 09:57:17

oh that was the middle of the night.. hold on let me see what it's doing now

Rik · May 18, 2010, 09:59:02

Still better.

Simon · May 18, 2010, 09:59:39

Tina · May 18, 2010, 10:00:51

are we all very jealous? Don't people normally gets those stats?

Rik · May 18, 2010, 10:05:24

Your upstream is about average for ADSL2+, Tina - even I get it. It's the downstream that we're all drooling over.

Tina · May 18, 2010, 10:06:46

what is ADSL +2 ?

Rik · May 18, 2010, 10:15:16

The service you're connected to, Tina, 'up to 24Mb'. ADSL1 is the 'up to 8M' service, and before that we had the fixed DSL services at 512k, 1M or 2M.

Tina · May 18, 2010, 10:23:54

ah now I get it. Are most people on ADSL2 + now?

Rik · May 18, 2010, 10:25:52

No, it's totally dependent on BT equipping exchanges, and they haven't got around to most yet.

Tina · May 18, 2010, 10:27:19

ohh so I *am* lucky

Rik · May 18, 2010, 10:29:36

Me too, but I'm the only person on the staff whose exchange has been upgraded, which gives you a rough idea of the 'exclusivity' of ADSL2+.

Tina · May 18, 2010, 10:31:01

wow! So that's why my stats are so good? Cos it's ADSL 2+?

Simon · May 18, 2010, 10:31:23

Mine has, but I didn't go for it, as it's proven to be unstable in some cases.

Tina · May 18, 2010, 10:32:29

I didn't know I had gone for it - just put in the order

I didn't realise that. You might as well go for it, as if it doesn't work out, you can be remodulated to ASDSL1, but retain the u/s gain and bandwidth.
