That was from my desktop without my laptop's wireless slowing it down, but interestingly, while my download was slightly faster, my upload was slower laugh.gif

I do have traffic prioritisation here, so our servers and voice traffic get first priority, and they're hammering it pretty hard at the moment sad.gif

OK so I showed this thread to a guy I work with.

This particular guy is one of those that always has to be better than everyone else. Every single thing that is said in our office, he has to outdo... whether it be something some has done/experienced, or even just down to advice (he was giving me advice on how I should have my hairdyed FFS)... he is the king know it all and it really fuks me off.

So anyway

I showed him this thread, and he promptly stood upright, and said in a I am so great voice, "at my old work, we had 2GBps down and uploads.

2GB per second? is that even possible?

This guy really gets on my nerves... I'd love to shoot him down on this! Little help?

so many factors affecting speed ...

cable can be good but is shared among the users in the area - ie: if 20 people in your street are using cable you might be slower than if only 4 people are using it. and adsl is so dependent on location, hardware, line quality etc that even next door neighbours may have wildly varying results from the same provider ...

WHilst the speed are faster in writing on ADSl2+ the distance you are from an exchange is a huge factor plus other things etc as Toby mentioned.

You will get the advertised 24Mbs speeds if you are practically next door to the exchange. The speeds do drop dramatically if you are more than about 1.5 kms from the exchange so you well getabout 5- 1.5 mbs form the exchange.

Also if you have lots of Rims and small gauge cabling from your exchange to your home then this will affect the performance of the speed also.
