Yep we're on the blunsdon exchange, so no hope of adsl. I'll try it during the day tomorrow (I'm working from home) and see if it's any better. Methinks something fishy is going on...

I'm not sure if its more of an issue with Speedtest.net as I have just tested four times and got quite different results each time. Try the Dublin server instead.

Dire results from all-over using Speedtest.net at the moment... about 1Mb from anywhere, except NL which seems to get about 0.5Mb.
If I can dig out a free phone number (VM landline as well) to call the robbing sods on I may well have a moan.....

Hmm, I'm now getting about 2000 to London, and 8500 to Dublin !!
I'm getting a better (double) score from Baku in Azerbaijan than from London 80 miles down the road.

My connection was awful yesterday when I put the PC on at 5pm. had to wait til about 9pm before I got it up and running again with decent speeds. downloaded 2 films and 2 music albums but dont know how long it took as I just left the PC on over night and went to bed.
Not happy about this news though, another reason to leave but dont know of any other broadband supplier thats not going to cap me. Its the only reason Im still with NTL tbh.

It does fluctuate wildly. I get over 15000kb/s at the London server on speedetest.net early mornings,a bout 07:30. After 16:30 I'm lucky to get 2000kb/s,a nd thast with the Pc being turned off all day as well.
