However, I just got an email from my building manager to inform me that fibre is being installed shortly and we should get speeds of 1 GBPS (1000 MBPS).
I have checked the Internet speed here **broken link removed** it shows My speed Good...my download speed is 1.94Mbps and Uploading speed is 0.23Mbps....

Interesting over the years you can see the infrastructure improving with various posts. I remember getting my first 28.8kps modem in '94 and thinking it was incredible. Ahhh memories.
My local telephone company is offering extremely fast internet because their trunks are now fiber-optic cables.
25Mbps down or faster. For one year the price is very low then goes up a lot after. They are giving away a modern PVR for free for the first year.
But I have a 2 years contract with my cable TV company for TV and internet. It will cost me a few hundred dollars to break the contract. My cable TV company also gave me (an older) PVR for free for one year.
It is a good information about internet speed.........
In this way i test my internet everyday , because it is useful to know about the uploading and downloading speed so i check my speed through this site http://www.scanmyspeed.com/
My speed test results are,
upload speed:0.52 kbps
download speed:1.96 kbps
It has the best & accurate results for my internet speed test!!!!
In August of 2008 my numbers I posted on this thread were
1273 and 405
We have changed ISP packages a few times since then, upgraded to the 6Mps package today. The new numbers are
run between 6.22 and 7.12Mbps for download and .97 and 1.Mbps for upload.
Presumably (as the two tests are via different ISP's, the first is ADSL and the second fibre?.
My net is slow and unreliable as well, currently connected at 1.5Mb/s, it never reaches 3!.
Anyway, I've recently (last weekend) ordered a wireless broadband service, which will give me 10Mb/s down and 1Mb/s up, I'm just waiting for an install date - they could have done it tomorrow morning (snow permitting), but it wasn't any good for me - alternate Thursdays are best, so a fortnight today is probably the most likely day. It's not cheap (£25.99 for 20GB a month), but once my phone line minimum contract runs out I'll cancel that, and switch to VOIP instead - so it should only cost me about the same as now.
It's actually the speed I was getting this morning (rather than a test I took this morning).
I moved to FTTC (Fibre to the Cabinet) today - the whole lot was completed in less than an hour including the work at the cabinet - the engineer was quite shocked at how smooth it went (25 minutes at the premises).
I had an estimated 50Mbs download speed but getting 70+Mbs is rather nice.
