- How can I tell what sped?
- Posted by Brian Thompson on September 7th, 2003
I'm with Tiscali Broadband on the 256k package. I'm attempting to upgrade to
the 512k package but I'm unsure how to tell if I've been upgraded.
Tiscali are sending me e-mails saying I have, however I'm still connected at
2.2Mbps, which is what my connection was showing when I initiall joined up.
Tiscali are convinced that I have upgraded (and are charging me
accordingly), however as my connection speed hasn't changed I'm very
dubious.
Any help would be appreciated greatly.
Thankyou fellow (and fellowesses) broadband users!
Brian.

It'll give you a good indication of your upload and download speeds.

Seeing as 2.2Mbps has no relation to 256K or 512K I expect it is telling
you something unrelated that you do not need to know! (Like for example
the speed of the connection between your modem and PC - not the speed of
the connection between modem and ISP)

I would try a speedtest to see what sort of download speeds you are
achieving...
Hmm - my connection also says that it connects at 2.2Mbps - which it should
as its a 2MB line... so maybe you should just keep quiet!

I had something similar when I used uPnP with my Linksys router originally -
kept saying I had connected to the Internet at some stupidly high Mbps
connection when I had a 64k NTL line!

I think you will find it is good enough to work out if you are getting
256k or 512K - we are not talking precision here!
