Poor Speed

Can someone please help, i left PN several months and returned within the month
I use to get some good speeds, but now look.


i also tested on the BT speed test site.  Any ideas.
Test1 comprises of Best Effort Test:  -provides background information.
    Your DSL connection rate: 1664 kbps(DOWN-STREAM),  448 kbps(UP-STREAM)
    IP profile for your line is - 1250 kbps
    Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 1083 kbps
If you wish to discuss these results please contact your ISP.
If you are experiencing problems with specific applications, servers or websites please contact your ISP for assistance.
Your test has completed please close this window to exit the performance tester.

Re: Poor Speed

Knowing that the BT tester gives flaky through puts and people also say that the Speedtest .net is rubbish, their results are a lot lower than the BT test.
Now try http://www.mybroadbandspeed.co.uk/

Re: Poor Speed

With an IP profile of 1250 I doubt you'll get a lot more than 1083Kbps anyway.  What are your usual sync rates? 1664Kbps is fairly low.

Re: Poor Speed

this is what i get at My Broadband

On this test it hang around the 768 mark then suddenly jump up.
looks like i might have to leave PN and go back to Virgin Media, i cant even watch a game demo without it buffering.
