This is due to them being carried over fibre optic, rather than copper. The speed doesn't deteriorate over distance. Also, cable has a contention ratio of 1:1. That means the line is YOUR line and you do not share it. ADSL broad band has a contention ratio typically of 50:1. This means at peak times you will be sharing with up to 50 others. Imagine a road in rush hour. Cable is your own road, copper is M25 at tea time...
To get a true reflection of your speed you need to speed test several times a day at different times and over several days.

I think that when it was taking ten minutes to refresh a page i may need to get onto my service provider

Well for one I ain't complaining ( not about the thread but I will be about my speeds!!!!) Be-there say 24mb. The last time I tested on one of these threads it was only 6mg. Down to 3mb. Saying that I managed to break the BT cable tonight but managed to fix it ( don't ask the missus wanted to put a table where the junction box was )That's obviously why they have put the bill up from ยฃ14 to ยฃ16 pm.
Any provider recommendations?
