Bonjon Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Check who is fastest in your street/area click on link insert your post code and all will be revealed  http://www.uswitch.com/broadband/speedtest/streetstats/  That is a pile of rubbish, it says the fastest in my area is 6meg, even before I got Origin I was getting 12meg!!

Origin_Pete Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Uswitch tend to underestimate as -*surprise*- they can recommend a 'faster' company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greengeek Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Virgin Internet is awful. See if origin can help. My neighbours on adsl are getting less than 300kbps whereas I get 40mb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushypeas193 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Another vote for origin from me, I was getting between 0.4-0.8 meg with sky now I'm with origin I get 22meg download & 2 meg upload and I'm on the the base package.

Firparnian Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Just tried the postcode checker for my address in Shiregreen and when it got to availability page the app just shut down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkertelecoms Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Another factor, when ISP's say they can get upto 'such a speed' it doesn't take into account any sub-standard internal cabling you may have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shazbat Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) We're getting 1.5Mbps with Sky in Shiregreen. Have to say we were glad to move from Virgin (when we moved house) as their 'up to 30MB' "upgrade" that we had was worse than the previous 'up to 10Mb' and was costing us nearly £40 a month, and their customer service sucked. Would be interesting to get a comparison, as Shiregreen seems unlikely to be cabled anytime soon. Edited September 24, 2012 by Shazbat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hahahaha Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Ive got Origin and would leave today if we could get Virgin in Shiregreen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
