Hi all,
here is a request for information..
We are trying to gather data on the link quality and speed throughput of the KCom lines.

We have compiled an online form to help gather the information, to get access to this form please email dominator@karooforums.net

We want people to do a speed test a few times a day over a month and enter the results (including some router stats) onto the form.  The results will be collated and a map showing the quality of the connection per exchange will be created.  This will be posted online at the end of the tests.

We are also looking for helpers out in BT land that can provide a similar level of data (for direct comparison), so if you know of anyone out there that can help please pass on there email address (after asking their permission first!), i will send them a link to the form and ask them to fill it as many times as they can over a month.

We know you are only human so do your best with the form and fill in as much as you can.  Any problems you can contact any of the admins on this forum or reply to this post and we will try to help you as much as possible.

For more info pop along here http://karooforums.net/wiki/speed_test, this wiki page will also be update with more information as the project moves along.

You could create a html form and have it email you the results or put them into a database...
