Had a few problems this morning with the speed of my internet connection, it seems fine now.

I found this site that tests your connection speed.

Mine seems to be ok now. but I got 179 this morning.

I had forgotten about this site and it pays to check that what you see is actually what your getting.

I've found that site to be wildly inaccurate at times. I prefer this one....

One of my mates in Scotland tried it, and said the increase in speed was great, but pictures weren't as good quality. Depends if you can live with fuzzy porn or not
