That's interesting... My upload/ping times are better than yours, but my "grade" is rated lower due (I guess) to lower download speeds.

Its to do with the actual quality of the signal received and sent....something called 'jitter' and 'packet loss'.....less is obviously better!:D

Nahh... I monitor my pings and I don't lose anything and jitter is almost non-existent. It's biased to download speed... ;)
 
we found in the summer on normal lines it dropped badly and when the cold was bad it dropped badly again

since we have had finer optic it has been fine

p.s we on karoo a private network and we are not allowed to change network providers some bull crap law stops it happening

Not much better this morning.
At the moment it's 17.8 Mb/s download, 5.65 upload. Thats slow for fibre optic. Last night it was a quarter of that! (we are 1/2 mile from exchange)

And that's fast for my broadband service :(
 
On Sky broadband and it's pretty dire. I'm hoping their Sky Fibre service is coming soon near us.

It's a village but were not exactly in the middle of nowhere :sulk: less than 2 miles from the exchange...7 miles from a major city and to 2 large towns
 
This is ADSL from my partners shop (whilst I'm on a machine there via a VPN tunnel). She's less than half a mile from the exchange I guess....

I get this speed drop with BT Infinity-usually a re-boot of the home hub gets it up to speed again
