I have suffered appalling connection speeds these past two days, not only on pc-pals, but on other websites I visit too. I have btopenworld broadband and my speedtest tells me the following.
Download speed 58kbs (464 kbs)
(perfect - running at full speed)

These results are only a snapshot of this particular moment. They are dependant
on any other Internet use on this computer and any delays on the Internet. To improve accuracy, run the test several times.

Section 1: General Ping Results
A Ping test is the time taken for a server to reply to a request
Main Server:
28ms - Normal - it's about right!
UK Server 1 (
www.demon.net):
25ms - Normal - it's about right!
UK Server 2 (
www.bbc.co.uk):
26ms - Normal - it's about right!

Section 3: Download Speed Results
Three downloads are tested; one from one of your ISPs servers, one through your Transparent Cache and one through an alterntive cache. This will give you an idea of how capable your connection is. Note: You should take the highest download speed into account.
BT Openworld - 512k service Server Download:
0KB/s (0Kb/s) - **** SERVER ERROR: Unexpected error from Server****
Download through Transparent Cache:
58KB/s (464Kb/s) - Perfect - running at full speed!
Download through alternative Cache (webcache.blueyonder.co.uk):
0KB/s (0Kb/s) - **** SERVER ERROR: Unexpected error from Server****
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Section 4: Packet Loss
50 Ping Requests are sent to your server. The packet loss is measured by how many of the packets don't bounce back to the client. High packet loss may slow down your connection.
50 packets were sent, 50 bounced back; 0% loss (estimated)
Fantastic - no packets dropped!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Section 5: Transparent Cache Page Fetch Time
This test times how long your Transparent Cache takes to fetch a page from the Internet. Please note that this test is subject to many different parameters and sometimes may not be 100% accurate. This test can be used to show delays when trying to view Internet sites. The timing takes place from the moment the request for the file is sent to the moment the proxy server responds.
Average time taken to retrieve a page: 0ms - At least one of the pages requested failed to download. This may indicate problems with your Webcache. Run the test again to confirm this.
