Another test....when is peak time so I can test it again?
jesus that would be difficult depending on the demographics of teh users in your area
how many students using it, how many people logging in after coming home from work and when theya rre home and the numbers of unemployed...
Peak would be between 10am and 10pm jsut to be on a safe margin of error0 -

My conncetion keeps failing and coming up with limited connectivity :mad:
lol i can only usually get it that fast after 10pm at night before that it does be slower tough..your connection seems to be suffering today maybe there is a problem in your area with the local cell :mad::mad:
will test mine in about 15mins just waiting for downloads to finish
:D
i mostly wait till the speed goes upto 5-6mb at night before i bother to start bigger downloads cos it can take an age during the day0 -

these are my peak time speeds not to bad could be alot worse can still use youtube witout it stopping to buffer
yep the speedtest website is hosted by speakeasy inc in the USA so the time is a hour behind the uk and ireland and other GMT areas as we put our clocks forward at diffeant times of the year :cool::cool:
interesting how the tests seems to maintaing 3.5-4mb/s must be a quiet cell :P0 -

my cell is fairly contended with users so the max i get these days is 2.7mbps - still speed isnt an issue - consistancy and decent pings is what i want ( and no I dont have afixed line option :P )0 -

Past few days the speeds have been all over the place, not good speeds at that. Using the ZTE622 because the E5830 has decided it doesn't want to work any more so i'm back to the lovely random disconnections tonight.
Mine decided to freeze up as well but a good long charge via usb or plug with it off can solve that - battery is an odd thing in it - it can be green for weeks and then die all of a sudden so its worth taking note of 0 -

same here the cell seems fine during the day when it hits about 6pm-10pm it drops from the good 3-6mb to about 0.60-1.5 which still isnt to bad
all i want is good pings and a service that is consistant which i dont seem to have any problem getting:D
can get fixed line no problem here just previous owners of the house racked up a huge bill with eircom and wont release the line untill we pay them which we will not do so mobile is only option for us :rolleyes::rolleyes:0 -

ok well thats a load of BS from eircom - it may be the same line but the customers are different - if you ring magnet or another fixed ISP they might release the line to them otherwise they could be locking you from accessing anotehr service which you are allowed to do
sounds like a call to comreg even if you dont use it for anything but you might want to so you haev a right to have the line in operation if you want it0 -
does the ZTE modem disconnect you alot??ive just ran into a serious problem tonight the connection just dropped on me all of a sudden then windows xp seems to think the modem does not exist anymore re-installed software for the modem picks up on signal but when i hit connect it says its disconnected.have tried all 3 modems i have ..the o2 e1752 modem which is the one i have been posting recent tests off the vodafone k3765 and also a 3 E160G modem all keep saying disconnected..all modems are unlocked and its doing my damn head in :mad::mad::mad: its been very bad since going back to windows xp a week ago connections keep hanging on loading pages etc..i taught windows 7 was bad but at least my bloody modems worked with it so im going to install windows 7 again because xp is a heap of junk currently using a unsecured wifi in my area to get a copy of windows 7 from microsoft 2GB file taking a age to download if the install goes well ill throw up a few speedtests tomorrowdownwithpeace wrote: »

The ZTE is just annoying, if i'm not streaming or downloading it will disconnect or hang and not work until i disconnect and reconnect. Mostly during peak times but can happen anytime, never had the issue with the E5830.does the ZTE modem disconnect you alot??ive just ran into a serious problem tonight the connection just dropped on me all of a sudden then windows xp seems to think the modem does not exist anymore re-installed software for the modem picks up on signal but when i hit connect it says its disconnected.have tried all 3 modems i have ..the o2 e1752 modem which is the one i have been posting recent tests off the vodafone k3765 and also a 3 E160G modem all keep saying disconnected..all modems are unlocked and its doing my damn head in :mad::mad::mad: its been very bad since going back to windows xp a week ago connections keep hanging on loading pages etc..i taught windows 7 was bad but at least my bloody modems worked with it so im going to install windows 7 again because xp is a heap of junk currently using a unsecured wifi in my area to get a copy of windows 7 from microsoft 2GB file taking a age to download if the install goes well ill throw up a few speedtests tomorrow
