Whats your upload speed?

9/10mb on 10mb
There it is.
40/10
I'm on fibre as well, which is pretty obvious as good ole 20mbit ADSL usually topped out at around 736kbit/s upload so you would never get on average 10.52mbit with it.

Its not! My ISP only quotes the download speed of up to 20mbit. I only found out the upload speed after it was installed and for the first month or so topped out at around 2.23mbit/s then suddenly rose to over 10mbit/s one day and has remained there ever since.
To me its a 20/10mbit service.
Well at least it's quicker than the 1Mbps down and 200Kbps up at the old house!
I assume its fibre as that upload speed although not great is better than what good old ADSL could attain.
I know some people living near me on a different ISP who have 50mbit/s down fibre and they only get 900kbit/s up!
I had less than a meg down for 5 yearsThis is perfect for me.
Prior to subscribing to my current fibre service, I had a WiMAX connection with up to 4.5mbit down and 0.5mbit up with a ping time which fluctuated between 90 to 130ms so coming from that is a major upgrade and I am happy with what I now have. Ping time to google on my fibre service is 48ms.
on a 120Mb / 12Mb
Hmmm that seems to be really slow if you are supposed to be getting 120mbit down. Are you connecting via wireless or Ethernet cable and if the former try with an Ethernet cable.
Ah that really sucks! Are you still paying for a 120mbit connection and if so perhaps you should downgrade, you don't seem to have much to lose.
Ah that's ok then, pretty good for a freebie.
This over the airwaves....
Don't understand what you mean "over the airwaves" which suggests its using some kind of radio reception like 3G or 4G. Is it basically a fibre connection or something else?
ADSL2+
The only way you can tell I am on a fibre service is from the upload speed as 20mbit down was obtainable on ADSL2+ as indeed you are testament too.
Living in the middle of sticks sucks - wish I was back in a big city with decent speeds
Not sure what's up with the latency on there as I can ping the US sub 20ms.
Ah well least you have the beautiful English countryside around you! and the smell of cow manure
Serious question? An ISP; what else.
They sound like a firm of solicitors!
Expensive ISP.
I have had a look at Andrews & Arnolds website. Their basic £ 25 per month package allows up to 50GB download per month. However its not clear what download speed is? I presume its ADSL2+ @ 20mbit and if you want 40/10 FTTC its an extra £ 10 a month. Have I got this right?
FTTH
HyperOptic (currently exclusive London areas only).
100/100 service (£35 (you do get 6mths free to start off with though)).
There is a 1gb/1gb service, but it's £60.
Where I am its £ 30 a month for 50/1mbit, £ 45 for 100/20mbit and £ 60 a month for 1000/100mbit and I think you get the first two months free for evaluation purposes. Is yours unlimited too? Where I am the 50/1mbit has a 80GB download per month limit, the 100/20mbit has a 100GB per month limit and the 1000/100mbit also has a 100GB download per month limit. Overnight between 00:00 and 08:00 isn't charged and you can get a so called complete package for an extra tenner on the 50/1mbit package allowing up to 160GB per month.

Have you done an actual real world upload test. Sign up for a free FTP account at crocko.com and then upload a file to their ftp server.
I did and got this result

Which works out to over 15mbit upload despite my speedtest only just getting over 10mbit.

Just setup a Serv-U FTP server on my machine at home connected to a 20/10mbit fibre connection, then logged into it from one of my sisters PCs using the filezilla ftp client and began transferring two largish files.
Suffice to say it transferred the two files simultaneously at a rate of approx 650kbit/s each which when converted to mbit/s is 10.4mbit/s or 1.3 Megabytes a second.
My sisters connection maxes out at around 14.5mbit down so was not far off consuming her total bandwidth.
