Just upgraded to 10MB connection (Virgin Media)

Since it was only £2 a month more than I was paying for 2MB

Did that Monday and was told it would take about 24hrs to see the difference, so ran some test this morning;

two tests gave 9600-9800 download speeds, 480-512k upload

Download from Google (gmail) servers : avg 850 KB/sec

Download from Microsoft servers : solid 1.1 MB/sec

Download from Apple servers : 1.0-1.1 MB/sec

Download from YouPorn : 200 KB/sec - LOL

Sound about right for a 10mb connection?

Kinda

Some websites load quicker (I think) than before, but on general net stuff, it's not that noticeable.......
