Thats nearly 8mb mate, is that the speed your paying for?

The rest looks fine so you shouldnt be slow at all

i think if youre on 10mb broadband, as i am, them youre a little down on the best download speed you'll probably get, roughly 9.5mb at very very best.

Your ping is quite good, when used in gaming mostly.

And you upload seems as good as you'll get as well.

so all in all if youre paying for 10mb then thats not too bad.

mate, its NTL which is now Virgin at times it can get a bit slow,due to the amount of trafic on the internet that goes through the Virgin network.

Incidently, what do you call slow?
