testmy.net - speed test and broadband tools

tests your connection.

and no we was'nt on about sky movies :P
That speed test is rubbish, I only got 400Kb/s and I know for a fact that I regularly download large files at 800Kb/s even at my mum which is only 8Mb.

When you can download things at around 1.8Mb/s its pretty easy to reach a large amount of downloads! Luckily Bulldog don't have any caps and don't have any fair useage policies that im aware of, although that might change as our customer base has technically been acquired by tiscali but we're still apart of the fast Bulldog network

Dvd's are 4Gb, the 700Mb films you download are compressed versions which are not as high a quality. Heck even the 4Gb dvd ones are compressed, regular dvds are around 9Gb.
