512 kbps Broadband 512Kbps
1000 kbps Broadband 1Mbps
2000 kbps Broadband 2Mbps
4000 kbps Broadband 4Mbps

I'd need it confirmed by Mrs Clive that you are indeed the speed king :whistle:

I have it on good authority that Clive can indeed be in and out in a matter of seconds Cammy :wink:

These speedtests are about as reliable as anti-spyware and anti-virus - different ones give different results!

On my 1MB connection, according to ISPreview I have a speed of just 178KB/s. But in Bandwidthplace.com I have a speed of 868.9KB/s.

Still, I don't suppose whichever is nearest to accurate will make much difference. Surfing the internet will still be no faster than 56K dialup, except on the BBC and one or two other websites. :x
