Did YOU know SamKnows ???
Virgin recently upped my Broadband to 350Mbps download speed BUT, running normal speed tests from various sources I never got more than around 45Mbps d/l speeds, THEN, after complaining to Virgin, they suggested I use which actually demonstrated I was indeed getting <380Mbps (at my router BUT my desktop was still only running at around 45Mbps) so (this time) I can't blame Virgin but my old/creaking out-of-date DELL Desktop PC which uses a Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabyte Controller plus, no doubt, other slower boards/components etc
I did originally think it may have been my (again, very old) TP-LINK Powerline Adaptor using ethernet cables so even tried with WiFi with the same results
I don't intend to spend any money on upgrading my Desktop PC "just" for faster d/l speeds to match Virgins <350Mbps but thought I'd share this with those who were not aware of this alternative speed testbiggerdave Reviewed by biggerdave on .
