| How do I measure the speed of
my broadband connection? |
| |
Visit the LCBroadband
speedtest web site and run the tests described there.

| Are the speeds, inbound and outbound,
guaranteed? |
| |
No. At best, LCBroadband
will offer access at up to 2000kbps downstream (depending
on the product you have chosen) and up to 250 kbps upstream.
Speeds will vary depending on various factors including
the number of other users online at the time and the
overall usage across the internet.
As with any other internet connection, the overall transmission
speed is limited to that of the weakest link in the
network 'chain' that connects you with whatever website
or other resource you are connected to.
The burst rates quoted may be reduced by contention
at peak usage times within the BT Network. The maximum
burst rate upstream is line quality and distance dependent
and may be significantly lower than those shown above.

| What is the specific transmission
speed for LCBroadband? |
| |
Up to 2000kbps depending
on the product you have chosen. There is also a contention
ratio of 20:1 or 50:1, again depending on the product
you have chosen.
The burst rates quoted may be reduced by contention
at peak usage times within the BT Network. The maximum
burst rate upstream is line quality and distance dependent
and may be significantly lower than those shown above.

| Given that data speeds are exponential
(e.g. 16,32,64,128,256,512) why do some sources quote
512/256kbps and your website quotes 500/250? |
| |
BT, our network provider,
states that their network will support up to 500kbps
downstream and up to 250 kbps upstream, therefore, this
is why we quote the same speeds. |
