They boast about our university having the fastest internet speed in the world only rivaled by (google) campus of stanford university.
It's pretty dependant where your student flat is situated because of the use of the copper wires they use to connect the the nodes or whatever bla bla fuck you.
Also I live with 11 people in a 12 people apartment/flat because we have one room for a server. It's kind of a hobby project of some of the guys here. It's uploading and
downloading a fucking shitton 24/7 and is widely known across the campus. It's pretty kewl.

Terabites of music/movies/porn and series literally a mouseclick away playing instantly.

 

SO CLOSE. England you disappoint me

E: I'm 2nd though!

 

welp here's mine again

 

I'm supposed to be getting 10mb down.

 

A CHALLENGER APPEARS

What the fuck.

 

Haxx like samsung and benchmarks

 

almost made me cry
EDIT:This is not mine... sadly

 

then why upload it? ._.

 

Duno I never saw something like that maybe that is why

 

This is fucking ridiculous. Don't think I've had a stable connection for well over 2 years.

 

Virgin used to run heavy traffic shaping on their DSL packages a few years ago, not sure if they still do, but it's probably pretty likely what's causing your crap speeds. Is BT Infinity not in your area? (or short of that, a decent 3G/4G provider)

 

Honestly never looked into it. Also dependent on if my mum will actually swap provider.

 

Finaly some good speed internet
Dont take this bad I pay for this speed and I had 10mgbps before

 

BT Infinity is absolutely top notch. Me and lewy have just got it in our new place at uni

 

Again, it's if we can afford it. We're also still on copper cabling so we can't get a tremendous speed boost.

 

BT Infinity is FTTC, meaning the last mile still uses the copper cables, if your cabinet has fibre, you have Infinity. The cables to my house are literally rotting and BT Infinity still works fine. I don't know anything about your financial situation, but it's £26p/m (+ Line rental) for 76mb with unlimited usage or £15p/m for 36mb with 40GB cap..

 

At the moment I think we're paying something like £13 for broadband and a phone line. My Mum seems to think it's the area we're in and won't change provider. I evne offered to pay for the majority of the monthly bill myself but she's so adamant that there it's the area we're in ._.
