Hello
I seem to recall seeing here a way of identifying whether speed problems
relate to contention or to the ISP. Can anyone help?
I have an 8mb max connection with VISPA who remain very reliable for
getting on line at any time. Download speeds are varying between 1mb and
6mb download and 0.3 - 0.4 upload. Typically download under 4mb but just
recorded 5.5mb. (ADSL speed test)
BT comes up with the following. I am only 70 metres from the exchange.
My router is at present on the end of a 40 feet long extension but that
wouldn't explain the wide variations in speed.
http://speedtester.bt.com/ results as follows.

Test1 comprises of Best Effort Test:
IP profile for your line is - 7150 kbps
DSL connection rate: 448 kbps(UP-STREAM) 8128 kbps(DOWN-STREAM)
Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 2504 kbps
TIA for any help.
