What is your connection?

[P-51]

Well, I saw the thread entitled "Guys" and saw some speed test results. I was wondering who the 'ideal' hoast is, among us. Maybe we can share better and cheaper internet deals as well?

I'm not just being nosy, honest!

If you're in the UK (apologues my continental friends, and those from across the "pond") then I suggest this: http://www.uswitch.com/broadband/speedtest/ it's a good site that can help find some better and faster deals - with a map that will show how fast neighbours are getting (had they used the same speed test).

Just remember to check if your area can actually support 20mbps deals before buying one and only getting a fraction. Also, routers can slow networks down.. If your supposed to be getting a much faster speed, try missing out the router and plugging an ethernet straight into the back of your computer - it should then show a true speed on a speed test.

(I did all the tests with this router, the Netgear DG834. They were all wireless and at the same point in the house. My PS3 is wired, and I'll speed test that tomorrow)
