This is only achieved by me using high grade cable, I am not even peaking at my "Paid for" 160 MB/s

There is no 160MB/s in the UK, its 152 with the Virgin Media Big kahuna bundle, But what I dont get, is that you have faster internet than 91% of the UK at 116MB/s

When I am faster than 91% of the UK too with 160MB/s

I'm with Virgin Media. The current best ISP in the UK, I'm paying for 150up and I just done a speed test and this is what I'm getting

Thats only better than 88% of the UK, so if 150up is the fastest, then what on earth are people doing to get better than that...

I'm on the same speed as you on Virgin Media, only places such as University's, colleges etc can get faster I think

My upload speed is 44MB/s better than his, but I am still faster than 91% of the UK, which makes no sense whatsoever

You have just contradicted yourself, You said there was no 160 MB/s and then you say
When I am faster than 91% of the UK too with 160MB/s


Anyway, My highest peak was only ever something like 153MB/s

Uranious, I think you have to qualify as a business to get over that, you are right

How did I contradict myself, I'm paying for the Big kahuna which is 152MB/s. I'm not paying for 160, because there is no 160. My speeds are just really good and I am right next to my router all wired up.

The reasons why businesses can get faster is because of the amount of devices needed to connect

Well, I may be wrong, I must be paying for that kahuna bundle, i too am wired up, it depends on the traffic in your local area

Sorry the complication XD

I am just grateful for my speeds and I think everyone who has them is too!
