File download Test

Hi,

Can I ask a favour of those on FTTP, ideally 500MB package.

What download speeds are you gettiing from Think Broadband for the 1GB file?

I think the issue is with that file or website because I couldn't even start the download. We're on 500mbps Sky Fibre and I regularly get at least 480mbps and I've seen close to 800mbps. I run my speed tests at fast.com over WiFi on a Google Pixel 6a.

I think that we're the only people on our street on Sky Fibre which would probably explain our speeds

You need to hover over the 1GB file link and then click right mouse and save as 

For some reason it won't left click through to the link. Tried on chrome and edge.

I was trying it on my phone which runs Chrome. Try fast.com, Google Speed Test or the Ookla one as they all downloaded temporary files...

Tried them all mate and speeds yo-yo.

One server is 400, same one seconds later drops to 10.

Are you testing over ethernet or WiFi? If it's over WiFi, you could be getting some localised interference on the WiFi channel

All over Ethernet. 

Think it's Its local to me but falling on deaf ears with Sky at the moment.
