Yep. In Australia. Its actually ADSL2+ now. My ISP (iiNet - www.iinet.net.au) has uncapped their service to possible cater up to 24Mbps. I'm about 2.1km away from my exchange so I only manage 14Mbps.

My connection is ADSL2+. Although I am about 2.1km away from my exchange I still manage 14Mbps. All that I get from testmy is this, which is pretty good considering I'm in Australia. :::..

This is my new 12/1 ADSL2 connection.

12/1mbit 20GB peak + 20GB off peak traffic quota for $69.95 AUD per month. Roughly $54 USD.

For anyone who isn't familiar with Australian ADSL plans (most of you, I'd assume!) I now have a service which is advertised as "1.5 Mbit per sec, upto 12 Mbit per sec". My modem syncs at the full 12Mbit rate and on a good local server I download at about 1.3MByte per sec. But to testmy.net I get: :::..

Thoughts? Edit: Added upload speed.

As far as I have read with Direcway there is nothing that can be done about the upload speed.

Well, back on the subject... this is my speed from the TestMy.Net servers... This is a TPG 1.5 Mbps/ 256 Kbps connection. :::..

14mbit downstream/4mbit upstream.

At my school they have two 10mbit pipes. Awesome speed. High school with roughly 900 students, 50 classrooms, with 5 computers in each classroom... Several computer labs. So all in all about 500 computers.

We'll leave that up to CA3LE to decide. I can understand if he doesn't want it here. Althought it would seem redundant, as there's a thread on how to burn copyright DVD's. Same difference. Feel free to delete this post -- if need be, mods. In the meantime, if anyone wants to point me in the right direction PM me. [Edit: typos]

If that's what they're called, then yes. As I said, I'm new to FTP so I don't really know what I'm looking for.
