How fast is your Broadband, really?
I have been looking at changing broadband provider.
I was thinking of getting a faster package - so I entered my phonenumber into my providers form that calculates my fastest possible speed and I was SHOCKED to read the following
A check on your telephone line shows that the highest speed your line is able to receive is up to 512Kb Broadband.
Beings that I set up the account last year and have been paying for a 2gb service I was shocked. I also checked with BT - they gave me the same reply.
My brothers phone - which is on the same exchange can get 9X that speed!
So I found a broadband speed checker
and tested the actuall speed. I was relieved to see that this is more like what I am paying for than what the ISP’s website said.
The moral of this story kids is to check what you are being given as it may not be what you pay for.
