Slightly different thread this time, list your lowest speedtest result and the type of service you were on.

I will get the ball rolling

I was on an up to 20mbit WiMAX service at the time and is my lowest result of 985 saved to my speedtest.net account.
 
At work at the mo so I can't test my home speed but I get about 2.4 down and about 200 up. Hopefully if BT get their finger out I may get fibre by Xmas. 2 Brand new cabinets installed in April and the sub contracters are working their little hearts out laying fibre. They only have a quarter of a mile left.
 
I'm staying with family in Cornwall.



All I can say is thank god I'm still on the one plan with Three as I get about 10mb down tethering through my phone!


Edit: This is through tethering!

Your top speed is faster than I get on my ADSL!

Hah :D I always get fantastic speeds with Three. Bearing in mind I'm very much out in the sticks (hence awful ADSL) with like 1 bar of signal. It's pretty impressive.

A game update through steam was downloading around 1.2mb/s :D

Most I have seen with my 40/40 fibre connection is 4.5MB/s but 1.2MB/s is still pretty good considering your out in the sticks!

Most I saw up until a year ago when I got fibre was about 450kbit/s

Yeah I'm in fibre at home and I get around 4mb/s down. The 1.2mb was tethering through my phone so not bad at all.

Yeah that is rather good, with a 3G(HSPA) connection in a small town location I never saw much above 437kbit/s and about the same with the WiMAX connection I mentioned above.

Its only since having fibre that I seen speeds above 1MB/s. Even back in the days when I had ADSL I only had about 200kbit/s download as I only had a 2mbit line.

Wowzer! I heard they were stingy with their 3G, but that is pitiful!

When I first got a sim with them for one of my tablets most areas around where I live were hard capping at 3.6MBit/s up and down for some reason - not a technical limitation as O2 who they use as their provider would exceed 10Mbit/s in the same area. It was pretty usable if a bit average but it slid down to a point where I'd never see 1MBit/s and that speed test was a low point - supposedly they've improved more recently but I've not used them for a couple of months now.
 
my friends fibre was ver very ill last week and his was 0.45 down with 18.53 up turned out it was a line fault. its now 76down 18up
