Broadband Speed & Ping Test Megathread

Supposed to be on 30 MB but I'm getting:

This is happening every evening, while the speed is good during the day.

I don't know much about broadband. When i was living in the city I had UPC and it was great. There could be 2 or 3 laptops streaming video with no problems. Now that I'm back living out the country, I have fixed wireless BB. It's 7am & I can't watch videos on youtube. Even after leaving for several minutes, it still gets stuck & i give up! I've done a few tests and these are the results.

The worst: http://speedtest.net/result/2430595080.png

My connection is stated as 1m with contention of 16:1 so download speeds seem ok. I cant find my upload speed stated anywhere but on my ISP's website it states that "Our products have as fast upload, as download, with no limit on the amount of data and the bandwidth available within the same area is more than 10 times as much, as what 3G can deliver.". The tests don't seem to show upload being ANYWHERE near download speed!!!:(

What do you guys think?

Moved to Paris, ISP is Free.fr: For EUR 35 per month I get amazing hardware, broadband, TV, unlimited calls within France, unlimited land line calls throughout the world. I could go on..

Switched to UPC yesterday after years of ADSL, being lucky to get 3-4Mb out of a supposedly 8Mb line, this just astounds me.

Friend of mine has moved to Sky 4G, but he's in suburban v's me in the bog - NewYear cleanup, am I paying too much ? I have o2 mobile b/band and Eircom at home but rarely use o2 so going to cancel that. Eircom at home seems ok but looking at 'Local area connection status' on Control panel I'm wondering how my o2 speed is v low but activity is high v's Eircom high speed but low activity - can anybody put that in plain english

Eircom tell me theres no problem that they have tested the line and all looks ok. Does not look to good from where I am.:mad: These speeds are the norm now rather that the odd time that they used to be..

Much the same for me. 7mb out of a 8mb package with VF but was told by Sky that the line is capable of 15mb and I should get at least 12mb. I have the Sky hub here and I'm due to to be up and running tomorrow,
