I gotta disagree with you there Iam3g. I am consistently getting fantastic speed test results from the voda speed test and when I say consistently I mean over 200KB/s just about everytime without fail any time of the day regardless which inidicates to me that I am perfectly aligned with the tower but in real world browsing and down loading it's so far from consistent that it's no longer funny!!
Durinf the course of the day the actual down load speeds fluctuate from 2KB/s-160KB/s but the average is what is concerning and I would guess that to be around 30KB/s
Download Speed: 1555 kbps (194.4 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 59 kbps (7.4 KB/sec transfer rate)
Download Speed: 1724 kbps (215.5 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 360 kbps (45 KB/sec transfer rate)
Download Speed: 1738 kbps (217.3 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 357 kbps (44.6 KB/sec transfer rate)
I mean look at these results?!!! They are superb but they don't translate into real world browsing...
These are indeed excellent and probably cannot get any better. Think of it as a fat pipe up to a certain point (where we break out into the internet) where suddenly you hit a thin pipe. Even with this fat pipe as your first section everything seems slow as you always see the 'throughput' of the 'thinnest' pipe in such a serial system.
Now think what's going to happen when the thin pipe at the end of the line is suddenly opened up (hopefully very soon). You're going to be the envy of everyone on the forum.
