So with everything else updated I decided it was time for Mrs DD to upgrade the Cable bundle as I figured we weren't getting the most out of the broadband.

I ran the speed tests, I'm sure you will agree number 2 looks a bit more like it  :D

Good god, I have never seen a speed that high, over 200 Mb, I thought I was doing good with 60Mb.

DD, could you try the speed test from here, just so we are all using the same test.

Yeah I don't think SKY are particularly well know for being a rapid ISP, you want Virgin for that in the UK  :thumbsup:

Still 10mb is good enough for every day interweb use, might take a while to download the 15 GIG games though  :headbang:

I'm happy to be connected again though
