Before when I had 2MB broadband and wireless Speedtest would give me this:

And 250 ping in CoD4. So I complained, and they boosted the speed up to 8MB, free of charge. Now I get 90 ping in CoD4 and this:

So if you're on Tiscali, complain that your speeds are shite and they'll upgrade you. Hopefully.

2MB and 8MB connections? If you have an 8MB connection, that speedtest sucks ass. If you have an 8Mb connection, it also sucks.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

I know it sucks. But from 500 to 5000? Ten times better, and it was only meant to be 4 times.

funky look at your test times, one was at 3 a.m. (less users) they other was at 5 pm (lots of users)

If you want an accurate test, do them at the same time

BTW you're getting just under 5Mbps download there which isn't too bad for Tiscali, if you want sometihing a bit better Tiscali now owns Freedom2Surf who have much better quality hardware at their disposal, if you argued enough you might get a free transfer to their services instead, I'm on their broadband for gamers service, puts you on their newest servers, halved my pings from the standard broadband i had with them and I speed test between 6.5-7.1Mbps peak times, get nearly the full 8Mb during the night.
