Guys,
I've been using Freeola Broadband for a good few weeks now, and have a query with regards to the download speed it gives me.
Obviously Broadband is "supposed" to be 512k right? I've NEVER seen my downloads go at a better rate than around 12 - 20k. Is that normal?
I realise that it's dependent on how busy the service is, but i'm serious that i've NEVER found it to run any quicker. Downloading email attachments, watching film trailers, etc etc. On each occasion it shows as downloading at around 12-20k.
I'm hoping that there's something I can do to increase this speed because I must say i'm EXTREMELY dissapointed if this is the standard connection speed.
Cheers,

Glad your connection is much better now Darkness_2k. cjh go to http://www.dslreports.com (SPACE) /front/drtcp.html and get the latest DrTCP. If your using a USB modem then change the Dial Up MTU. If you use a NIC to connect to the internet then select the network card. Best to try 1458 MTU with a RWIN of 12762, and then try a MTU of 1430 and RWIN of 13900 and see which ones give you the best results.

I know they're around somewhere, I seen them before, but this time I used DrTCP
Find it at the following URL [Run the test first and it will give you a link]

Personal experience..... it is fast on a 500mhz pc but on 1ghz it seems more likely to get to its highest download speed... and pages seem to load faster.

Downloaded Turbonutters link again, steady at 55kb/s whereas before it was only 19kb/s
The Pipex speed test now tells me I have (on average from a few tests) around 450k throughput - before it was 220
That ADSL speed tester that Mr No Name recommended tells me my ADSl now pings 'excellently' on UK and overseas servers, and my download speeds are on average 60kb/s
That app is also very good, as it told me my Pipex web cache wasn't performing as well as the alternative cache, so I changed my proxy settings and even web pages load faster now :D
Very sweet all round :D

I downloaded this program from download.com

you will probably be prompted to download a newer version when you first run it but it only takes a second.
Found it quite consistant. Got 30/31kbs from NTL 128k line and upto 73kbs from NTL 600k line.

Remember throughput and latency are completely unrelated.
