Seeing as it's been a while since we've had one of these it'll be interesting to see how the average speed has changed since a few years ago.
You know the drill, head over to Speedtest.net and post your results.
We can all laugh at the treacle slow, and be in envy of the super fast.

I live on the northern coast of Scotland and have a faster speed than you. How does that feel?

Well, I live in a desolate country lane where the post van can barely drive down.
Lovely, but it feels like a WWII holiday home for London school kids :/

My internet download speeds after 5pm are a strawberry floating joke, like 5kb/s for a film whereas before 5pm it'll download at over a mb/s. strawberry floating annoying.

Much better than I was expecting. When I used to have BT I didn't even get 1mb download speed.

Not bad considering I don't have a broadband connection and using BT hotspots.

Was expecting better to be honest. Upload speeds in particular are woeful. Takes an age to upload anything of any real size.

This is wrong, it is no where near that fast. It is only like 50kbps on a good day.

We had exactly that issue with EE, only had them for about a month before going to BT Infinity.

I'm apparently getting 72Mb/s tethering to 4G right now according to Origin. Though I don't think that can be right as I only manage 1MB/s on Speetest. My mate gets 6x faster speeds in his place.
Got so used to internet that was so fast you didn't even have to think about it at home. The broadband in this place is garbage.
