National Broadband Speedfinder project - beta

[BankFodder]

Which? recently did a survey of about 300 Broadband customers and found that actual speeds were not as advertised.

We thought that we try and produce a map of speed based on post codes and providers so that people could actually find out what they were likely t get before making their choice and putting their money down.

Here is the beta. It needs testing and lots of comments please.

Download speed is certainly important. but upload speeds can be really snail like by comparison. typically 2.5kb on a 1 meg connection with most providers.

They rely on the belief that people wil only download - not upload.
Some suppliers do offer a better speed but not by much



Hope this helps

Quick update,

Just changed to Tiscali's 8 meg and Telephone deal. 6.6-8.8 megs.

That will do !!!
