Crikey Daz - what's speed BB do you have and with whom?

It's Comcast Digital, it's delivered via cable with the TV service ... it's pretty much the standard package they offer in this area. It works really well and I can't remember the last time I had any outage.

I'm getting better speeds now.

This is normal for a 3G Signal out in the middle of nowhere.

Regards.

Yeah, that's what comes from having T1s at work. Too bad I can't do all my playing here. They wouldn't like that

How indicative is this thing, anyway? I tried it a few times mere seconds apart, and got vastly different readings each time.

It seems it's a bit like blood pressure, up and down like a ruddy yo-yo.

Some broadband services use resources that are shared by you and other people in your neighbourhood, so that might cause the variance your seeing. Bandwidth is a key metric so is your Contention Ratio.
