[access-uk] Re: download speeds

Do a search in http://www.Google.co.uk for "download speed
test" where you will find a variety of tests.

However, also be aware that you may never achieve the
optimum speed for a whole variety of reasons.

I found that just on 2mb, we very seldom get that, so to me
there seems little point in trying to upgrade.

Subject: [access-uk] download speeds

Hi all
Can anyone point me in the direction of a web site, or a
document that can explained easily download speeds.

I have  broadband using a BT landline, and Sky as the
provider. =20
The download speed is described as up to 8 meg.  When I'm
downloading files, my speed varies between approximately, 30
kb per second, up to the quickest of 50 kb per sec.


I guess my questions are,=20
If the connection is running at its optimum speed, and say I
have a 1 meg connection, what should I expect my download
speed to be.  a.go. 10 kb per second, or something like
that.

As I'm on a 8 meg connection, what I'm trying to find out
is, am I actually achieving my optimum download speed, which
at its highest is 50 kb per sec.

Hope all that makes sense.

Either an explanation from someone, or a pointer to
somewhere that I can read about it would be great.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Terry
