I personally do not think that is a good idea doing speed test as all it is doing is making Krapoo look good,just my 2 pence worth.

Well it is provided over KC's core network, so realistically shows they can deliver, but for the purpose of comparison it is fine.

Still very stable i see.. Noticed its the upload that varies the most, Generally your download speeds are always at least 40mb.. Wow who thought we'd get the chance to say that in Hull anytime soon haha.

Yeah upload tends to be between 8 and 15mbps, I've had it as high as 20 for short bursts.

Download can be relied upon to be 38-45mbps any time of the day :-D

Definitely worth it in my view, I would like to see both new providers making it a standard practice during installations requiring extra elevation/height.

At the moment I'm seeing no degradation In the service even after 8+ gb downloaded, presumably due to it not being crowded on the network.
