Unfortunately that's only at work and a lot of bandwidth will be allocated for other uses in the coming weeks/months, but we'll still get a decent enough speed most of the time  :smiley: Will ask my bosses if I'm allowed to whore it for my uses, I'm sure they're also wanting to make use of the fast downloads  :grin:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Mmmm.. 100mb synchronous.. get some speedtest.net tests done please! BT 100mb leased lines aren't exactly cheap..

Fast enough for ya? :laugh: It would be faster IF the test servers could keep up.








Just copied a 2Gb file to our London servers at 100Mbps  :cool:  :grin: we can get 20 x the porn now  :grin:

Using my work PC remotely and it's almost like using it on the same network locally, and I'm only on 8Mb down and 0.4Mb up for the next week when I get ADSL2+ 17Mb estimated.

That is awesome! We have 50/5 shaped per computer for the second line and NOC lot which is fun. Just had a 10G link to our new data centre installed too.. I'd love a go on it, but obviously all it takes is one 1gb or 100mb link across your route and the speeds are bottlenecked :(

Have you seen any of the stuff about the Bournemouth fibre band project? 1g to the door for a very reasonable price per month

When people quote 100mb, 50mb broadband does anyone actually achieve this when downloading/uploading? I want Virgin :cry:

If you download from the right sources then yes

I Max out on Torrents @ 25Mb shy of my 30Mb But with some direct file downloads it max's out at 30Mb at that stage my router smokes and needs an optical cooler me tinks  :smiley:

On another note my line dropped for an hour yesterday and so did customer services  :shocked:
