How fast is your broadband?

February 20, 2012

February 20, 2012

PC Advisor Magazine have recently published a survey “Best broadband deals for 2012“.  In it they state that the mean broadband speed is now 7.6 Mbps.  I’ve just tested mine this morning at it is a lousy 4.13Mbps (BT Broadband).  Occasionally it has reached 7 Mbps.

You can use the PC Advisor speed test if you want to check your speed.  Note that you need Java installed to run the test.  If you haven’t got Java you can download it for free here.

Let me know your results via Facebook.
