- Confused by Broadband speed
- Posted by DavidS on February 4th, 2005
Hi,
I am using Tiscali Broadband at 256kbps which I am very pleased with.
The small icon on the right hand side of my screen states the speed to
be 589.8 kbps
If I do a Bandwidth test it states 149.3 kbps.
Is there something wrong or am I just being dim? Do these figures
seem OK?
Any advice would be gratefully received.
David

Which is not much faster than a couple of ISDN2 channels bonded together.
Real broadband starts at 512K from around £17 a month
