It's about what I would expect though - the ADSL2+ type providers occupying the top spots.

B - hows about you having a play across some of your accounts? I reckon you could cater for a large part of the ones mentioned couldn't you? See how it performs objectively against other ones like TBB, MBBS, etc?

Not strictly correct - they are the same company but you can sign up to O2 on an up to 8Mb line inside and outside the LLU exchanges http://broadband.o2.co.uk/home/packages.jsp
Quote from: Barry Interesting how Be and O2 occupy the top 2 spots, but they are both exactly the same company. There shouldn't be any discrepancy between them at all.

Quote from: James_H I recall the last test they did was with a very unreliable speedtester - I'm downloading the latest to see if its better (if the darn site would work I would be anyway!)
If I remember correctly the last test was not Broadband Choices but Thinkbroadband, but I could be wrong

Speedtest.net: "5589kbps 666kbps ( http://www.speedtest.net/result/307700636.png )"
Broadband Choices: "Your connection speed is 1.10Mb, you have indicated that you are meant to get up to 8.00Mb from PlusNet"
Something seems a little odd to me.
Does anybody else get similar results/differences between different speedtesters? I know thay they are dependant upon too many variables to ever be accuratte, but you'd expect them to be in the same ball-park wouldn't you?

The TBB one is normally around the same as the other ones to be honest - it was definately a Broadband Choices one I'm thinking of (although there have been other complaints about other ISP's interpretations and use of the results and comparisions on TBBs page, but thats another story entirely!)

They do not sell exactly the same services however, though they do have shared infrastrucure at the exchanges. (I'm on Be as many of you worked out a while back.)

Quote from: artmo I've found the last tests details:

Knew it looked familiar!
Looks like they've split out their branding, but its clearly the same folks.
So what results did other peeps get?
