New wifi router :-)
« on: August 23, 2013, 07:00:44 PM »
Had an email last Sunday, (I'd been away), from TalkTalk, offering me a new, improved, faster, broadband wifi router. FREE  :?
So I filled the form in and pressed the 'Yes' button. It was delivered yesterday  ;)
Plugged it in set it up, logged on with the laptop, simples  8)

Err, it's not a deal faster than my old one. Sorry talktalk.  FAIL:  :P



Link to old speedtest. Time of day makes a difference. I can't see one.  :(

FWIW - I must remember to do this again early evening - I bet it's half of that...  :(

I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

How dismal is mine!! Mind you I do live down Dark Lane in Calow, with an Owl, and the big slithery thing that nests in the woods. Strange goings on around these parts, but I've been here nearly 30 odd years, so I guess that makes me part of it. I'm going to sharpen my scythe, polish my skulls, and then off to bed with my pipistrelles. :o

We have had a letter from Talk Talk advising that they are improving their connection speeds in our area - so they are putting up their prices

Jeeze, I'm surprised you even get on the internet at that speed  :o

Sad thing is, it's not always TalkTalk's fault. If BT don't upgrade the phoneline system, TT can't deliver the speed.

According to the engineers that did our fibre broadband this is the more accurate test

http://speedtest.btwholesale.com

You can also feedback if you're not getting the promised speed

Hi

I live in Hasland here is my speed test




If I do the speed test using http://speedtest.btwholesale.com I get 66.82Mb 15.37Mb and a ping of 25.25 who to believe ? (BT is my ISP)

I don't know how I used to mange before, as we have 4 TV's internet connected, and can watch BBC IPlayer on all 4 TV's at the same time  :)

In addition I run a very low traffic web server on it as well.

If we were to move house 1 of the things on the list would be the speed of the internet, as I would not like to go back to a slower speed.
