Doubled Speed, is it an error?

[petersmyth1]

Hi gang, for the last 2 days my standard TalkTalk broadband connection speed has doubled

www.speedtest.net/my-result/3147964059

13.46 mbps - 0.72 mbps

My average speed up to yesterday was 6.5 mbps on the above tester.

Has any other TalKTalk user noticed any improvement in speed?

Seems that a few providers are increasing their bandwidth. Virgin b/b are telling me ('cos I'se a diamond) >

Even faster broadband - coming soon

Right now you have our up to 60Mb broadband. That's really fast, but between July and December 2014 you'll be able to supercharge your speed to up to 100Mb broadband at no extra monthly cost. We'll email you when it's ready.
Your speed will increase from up to 60Mb broadband to up to 100Mb broadband

I especially like the "no extra monthly cost" bit, although as I'm getting www.speedtest.net/my-result/3148245476 now, I doubt if I'll notice any difference in d/load speed.

So Smudger, possibly that crappy Talk the Talk provider of yours are just trying to compete!

So that means mine will increase also

Nob mine is a standard, non fibre, connection like yours. According to TalkTalk I'm 0.8 miles away from the exchange but it is only about 500 yards walking distance away so there's lots of wiring involved somewhere.

Nob go to Talk Talk's My Account page and on the right hand side scroll down to Problem with Your Service then click Report and Repair. That'll eventually bring up a page telling you how fast your connection is and how far your exchange is from your puter etc.

Its 3 mile away Peter, but how long the line is is anyones guess. Its due to upgrade before 2015.
