You will find that drop outs and poor speeds on Wifi are more likely related to poor performing Wireless radios in devices and interference on the 2.4Ghz frequency.

It makes me laugh how many people do a speed test on their phone and they expect the exact same result on their Xbox/PS3 but that's not how it works.

If reliability is more important than bandwidth, it may be worth connecting on the 5Ghz frequency as this has many more non overlapping channels and far less interference.

I have BT Infinty, can't fault it! Never had any problems and it's been brilliant since day 1 of the service. Deffo recommend it.

This is the results from my speed test: (Wireless)

Originally on 38meg, normally got about 33meg (wired)

Now on 76meg and get about 66meg (wired)


The speed you get depends on how far you are from the local exchange box.
As from there to your house you're still using the old copper cable and not fibre optic.
So the further away you are, the slower the speed you'll get.

Just been upgraded today to 60mb on virgin media. Supplied me a new superhub but I'm lucky to he getting 3mb down out if it now. I know the service has chnaged as the upload has doubled but it's a bit of a bummer :( more problems for them to sort out as well as the ongoing lack of bandwidth fault my whole postcode has had for 18 months

We're getting this at the end of the month I think.

I have no idea what this means but this is it currently (looks pretty bad compared to others):


edit: it's shocking compared to others.

Fuck that's quite a steep drop? Worst comes to worst surely you'll be able to get money refunded, after all you're not getting what you're paying for!

All sorted now, seems to be up to the right speed again

What are you all doing to get so excited about super fast internet connections?

I used to have about 8Mbps and that was enough for downloading a film in about 30 mins or so and playing the 360 with no lag.
