Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Mobile "so called broadband" speed test week.
-
29-05-2010 6:59pm#1Time for everybody to do a speedtest on their mobile service and post up the results between Sunday the 30th and Saturday the 5th of June.
One weekend test and one weekday at 8pm-9pm test each please.
1. Go to http://www.speedtest.net/
2. Hover the mouse over the gold star on top of Ireland on the map.
3. Click on DUBLIN NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE.
4. Click "copy forum link" when the test finishes
5. Go to boards, new post in this thread, paste in the forum link job done. Appears like this graphic.
( Note , if you are with three then say whether you are a NORMAL 3 customer or an NBS three customer)
I will look over this thread next week and will summarise the results for everybody. It may be an idea to do this every 6 months and see what the reality is.
The carriers are
1. Vodafone
2. Three NBS
3. Three Normal
4. O2
5. Meteor
If everybody does their two tests ( weekend and weekday everning at 8-9pm) we will get a good idea of whose network is best configured and least congested.1

Another test worth doing is the one at http://www.pingtest.net/ latency and jitter test , again select Dublin as the test server .
Let the test finish , click "copy forum link" and paste it in here. See if you can beat this one in Africa

Vodafone, Limerick, about 1km from the mast with good LOS.
Wow, that's pretty piss-poor. I only use this during working hours, and it's normally around 3Mbps.
Limerick server is a bit better.
Pingtest is giving me nothing but packet loss errors, on all servers.0 -

On the NBS in rural Kildare.
Tests were 5 mins apart ... this is typical speed ... I've been getting similar all day.
Edit - thought this latest speed test was worth including (run 15 minutes after first test) ... both upload and download speeds have more than doubled in last 15 mins!!!!!
