Speed compared to premium hosting companies

I have a few servers, some with Web Hosting UK and one with UK Fast.

UK Fast have been promoting their "SEO Servers", which apparently have a very fast connection speed to please Google.

So I thought I'd test the server I have with UK Fast against the WebHosting UK server using a VB.Net application I created.

It turns out the UK Fast server gave an average speed of 92Kbps, whereas the WebHosting UK server did 119Kbps (this is downloading exactly the same file from each).

What does WebHosting UK think of this? And would they be willing for me to test one of their top-end server solutions?

Cheers
Glenn

Hi Glenn,

I'm sure if you contact the pre-sales team with your requirements that they could sort something out.

Hi Glenn,

We can not offer you a server for testing purpose however I can provide you a test file for download. I've created a test file on our top end dedicated server i.e. WHUK E5420 server. You can download this test file to check the speed.

If you want the link of the test file, pm me.
