I can say that the ADSL Guide speedtest is very good. Was surprised that my speed was only 430kbps considering im literally beside my exhange!

voakesy

I just got connected there yesterday n got 396 Kbps (inc. overheads) which is alright in my books. btw ive downloaded 2 gigs already do ye get charged for goin over the limit on the trial??

has anyone ever been charged for goin over the limit??

just did the test with http://www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/ and got 426kbps. Is this good?

TemplarBarna

used the top lnk and got the following..

Downstream 428 Kbps (53.5 KB/sec) 462 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream 105 Kbps (13.1 KB/sec) 113 Kbps (inc. overheads)

Another site for testing your line speed is http://www.irishisptest.com
It has the advantage that its based in Ireland, so the results should be more accurate

Not too bad

Your current bandwidth reading is:

82.17 Mbps

which means you can download at 10.27 MB/sec. from our servers.
