Speed Test

PIPEX 1MB

Actual Speed
True Speed (estimated)

Downstream 917 Kbps (114.6 KB/sec) 990 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream 246 Kbps (30.8 KB/sec) 265 Kbps (inc. overheads)


'Actual Speed' is the amount of useful data that your connection can transmit/receive per second. The 'True Speed' figure includes an approximation of data overheads (non-useful data) and is estimated to be around 8%.

I was very surprised that the most well known isp Zen Internet as one of the best broadband quality in UK and the most expensive on home 2mb at £34.99 as the speed is my 1st time awful poor and very very slow as a snail speed dropped below 250k. I always get best performance over 1840k for the whole week with Zen except today was a big let down by poor ADSL speed test. Here is my first two test results:

Zen internet 2mb at 6:21pm

Downstream 268 Kbps (33.5 KB/sec) 289 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream 243 Kbps (30.4 KB/sec) 262 Kbps (inc. overheads)

Zen Internet 2mb at 6:34pm
http://www.adslguide.org.uk/tools/speedchart.asp?id=7c4e701a109313178363d457915
Downstream 736 Kbps (92.0 KB/sec) 794 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream 248 Kbps (31.0 KB/sec) 267 Kbps (inc. overheads)


I won't be complaint to their support centre because I was expecting to migration over to NDO anytime next week. But overall, that Zen does a best performance speed for most of the times during both peak and off-peak hours and weekend but today, it just a big drop in speed. Probably my exchange get very heavy traffic today.

I am leaving Zen because of over priced £34.99 but never use pc alots these days, that why NDO suit my best need with cheaper at £19.99 with 10gb including for 2mb. I don't think that Zen will never get cheaper like capped it but Zen are always TRUELY UNLIMITED for last longer.

Hi Bulldog,

Sorry i haven't posted sooner but i have been off due to person reasons so i have been unable to find out why you got the slow speeds at this time, from what i understand a pipe had gone down and through the BT network they had a routing issue due to this central pipe that had gone down it caused some of the centrals to have more customers on than others did and while they was manually load balanced it caused some disconnections and slow speeds.
