Blimey, I feel like Im living in the stoneage when I look at some of your speeds. On a good day I get 6Mb/s DL and 45Mb/s UL (thats the max my shitty BT copper wiring landline will handle). I would probably be better off with 2 cups and a really long piece of string
skybb dude it is worlds better

I have the entry level uverse speed. I think my area can go up to 20 Mb/s. Still, it is twice as fast as the DSL elite service I used to have. Right now I pay $54 a month which includes taxes fees and a VOIP line. I do not have the tv service.

have to agree - maybe it was in use, while he did the test?


i'm just glad about the plans here for Au, 80Mb/40Mb fiber to every home as part of a big upgrade plan.

(obviously, ISP's will restrict that on cheap plans - but thats the minimum guaranteed speed for each home, infrastructure-wise)

It will be good when it gets here..... Would you believe I signed up with another isp here in oz and it is going to take 25 days for a rapid transfer to happen. Both of them are members of rapid transfer. I am going to ADSL2+ from a 1500/256 connection. No prizes for guessing who I am going over to.

Very strange... I'm getting FAR above my rated up speed across the board. I havn't seen under one megabit yet, and I'm only supposed to get 500k...

My package says 512Kb on thier website, so they didn't change it. Maybe they like me?

I really need to get a router that is capable of my connection speed or move my computer back over to where the modem is! A 1 gig connection using 10/100 router just doesn't make much sense! I've been meaning to get one for over a year now...

Comcast did the same thing. It was a silent upgrade because Fios was kicking their ass.

Hmm, utorrent doesn't seem to reflect this, but I can't really use utorrent to gauge my speed as there's way too many variables involved with that sort of thing.

Could having my temp internet files on my RAMdisk be boosting my upload results?

your PC wont change how fast your internet is.... it might slow it down if its really old but it wont speed it up.

My torrents do reflect my upload change. I had to throttle them to 150KB/s. They'll run pretty darn close to 250KB/s if I don't, and choke out my connection. They'll burst up to 400KB/s for a minute or so sometimes.

sounds like you're being ported from telstra owned ADSL1 port to a an ISP owned ADSL2+ port... there is always delays when doing that.

Going from Telstra owned ADSL1 port with internode to ADSL2+ Bigpond. Been given lots of storys along the way all of them lies but none greater than the ripper I was told yesterday. The lady told me I was up and running with ADSL2+ lol. I just have to wait until the 23rd and I will have my fast connection....
