lukcy australians, i only have 3mb broadband here in the UK

 

I am sitting in a 100mb/s connection here in Sweden :)

 

I feel sad now, why does everyone have faster broadband than me

Ours is supposed to be 4mb but when I last tested it it was just undr 2mb.

 

That is the magic of ISPs being able to advertise "up to xMB" speeds for you.

My service is advertised as "up to 7MB (orMb)" but I test at 5MB (Mb). So I called customer service and he said it was a matter of several factors including your distance from their servers, He is right, but there is something fishy going on, because I know where their local server farm is and it is a 2-3 minute walk from my house.
