Hey cable i was wondering if i could put a testmy.net link on our clan website..hopefully gather a few more members...?

Strange... why would he bother if you did (you probably don't need to ask) and why do we all need to know (you could have messeged him). 

firstly, let me thank for your help. i'm from Australia, my isp is iinet and they have said "up to 24Mbps", but my location is in the metro zone, so i should be getting the speed arround 2 to 2.3 Mbps at least, also i cant perform the upload speed test in this server, my download speed test in this server is slower than what I get as I download by internet download manger, is ther any solution that might help me to tweak up my connection???

Metro or not, I live in metro (Sydney) too, but I can get a max of 1.6 MB/s, I live about 1.7 KM from the exchange.

You need to know how far away you are from the exchange, I'm guessing about 2 KM. I'm assuming it's the fastest speed you're going to archive, which really isn't that bad!

And for that test link I gave you, it was for your upload speed, not download. What were the results? Should have been about 100 KB/s.

Cheers,

Shane

Where are you from? And which ISP are you with?

If it's ADSL it depends on how far you are from the exchange you're connected to and the quality of your line.

Your ISP should be advertising it as "UP TO 24 Mbps", did you have a closer look?

It's unlikley you will be able to get 24 Mbps, even 20 Mbps is hard, unless you live like < 500 meters away from the exchange.

Do you know your attenuation and line noise stats?

Make sure you have filters on all other devices using the same line as your ADSL, first try dissconnecting all other devices from the line and seeing if it improves your speeds.

But what you're getting now is an above average speed regardless, it's decent. Although your upload should be maxing out at ~ 850 Kbps, which is about 105 KB/s.

If you are in Australia (because you're calling it ADSL and we have 24/1 plans here, I'm guessing you may be...) try running the upload test to this mirror: http://www.testmy.net/ou-mirror-ShaneAu2

Cheers,

Shane

Hello fellow Aussies,

There's now a Australian mirror for testmy.net! Excellent for those higher speed connections (above 1.5 Mbps - I'm talking 10 Mbps+) that want a more accurate results.

Besides your result looks soo tampered with . Where's your validation link?

40 USD / month for 10/10 Mbps

Wow nice... I pay $45 USD per month, and get 10 Mbps down and only 128 kbps up (big difference, hey!), and a 10 GB download cap per month, after the 10 GB the line is slown down to 64 Kbps!

thats a cached result damnt.. i lost my speed test files.. noone will provide them to me

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://twistedpc.us/

The following error was encountered:

    * Connection Failed

The system returned:

    (111) Connection refused

Looks like the web server is down.

Then move?  seriously if you dont like it move..

And bandwidth IS expensive here. For a 8/512  line here its $78.00+ a month , more depending on your area.

In swe, you coulod get a 100/100 line for that. Just *NOW* is verizon changing that. But still.... only 0.5% of the people who want fios have it. When i called they could care less and say " do you see digging around your area?" and " we dont know when itll be avaliable for you."  So if your on FIOS, your lucky, but as for the rest of us $80 bucks a month is REALLY expensive..... Mabey moreso for you in AUS, but then again you gotta figure the income differences in each state/country/whatever.

We can get servers in America with 2 TB bandwidth for just like $230 per month (which I do get), if I was to get one here in Aus it would be about $1000 and with about 80 GB if I'm lucky. .

And hell no I'm not moving, Australia's great! I can live with expensive bandwidth. Just showing the comparision.

It pisses me off seeing you Americans saying USA bandwidth is expensive.

Here, yes, I have 10 Mbps cable (Download) and only 128 Kbps (Upload) but my speed is slown down to 64 Kbps down and up once I hit 10 GB (10 GB quota per month), I pay $47 USD per month for that, that's considerd rather cheap here compared to our DSL services.

I could go on a  20 GB per month plan where instead of being slown down after 20 GB, they charge me per the megabyte, this is where you will see how expensive bandwidth is in Australia, it's 12 cents per MEGABYTE over the 20 GB monthly quota. The 20 GB plan costs $78 USD per month (just for the 20 GB). If I were to go over that by 10 GB I'd be paying $1228.80 USD EXTRA! That would mean my bill for using 30 GB would be $1306.80.

And yes, 20 GB is the highest plan available.

Now stop your bitching, USA bandwidth is dirt cheap, be thankful! .

Note: I converted all the currencys into USD so you people in America can know what I'm going on about.

This test  just like 100% of all speed tests  on the internet is inaccurate, My real download is 850kB/s and my upload is  105kB/s, the only way to find out youre true speed is to download something, and look at what it says, a good way to do that is to download a large file with  download accelerator, thats guaranteed to max out youre bandwidth, using that, im steady between 850-855kB/s

It's because usually at the start of a download your speed doesn't max out, but the speed test starts counting regardless.

If you download DU Meter and monitor that, you will see your true speed, just make sure you're not doing anything within an LAN at the time of the test because DU Meter monitors both LAN and WAN traffic.

I know, I was teasing...well...I thought it was funny anyway...guess I left it too dry for anyone but me to get it

Oh! haha . Thought it made you sound a tad dumb .

Tell me...how was your test run on this date...11/4/2005...that's pretty funny ...I knew there was a time difference between here and there but whoa...7 months!!!...

We say the 11th of April 2005 here in Australia.

I think you say April the 11th, 2005.

2 Mb! . There's a differance, Watch how you write it . MB is MegaBytes, Mb is Megabits. .

2 M(Bytes) wireless would be lovley.. .

hehe, no I just posted that premature.. the query wasn't done yet... you should notice now that it's fast as a mofo   ~~  I haven't even gotten to the point of tweaking the details of the server yet... still need to transfer

Very good . Seems faster now, but not sure if it seems faster then it's ever been. . When all settles down I'll say .

Update:

Page created in 5.23 seconds with 22 queries. . Still doing work I suppose?

thats funny unless theres something wrong with the site, i clicked the link to verify the speeds etc, came up with nothing. and i searched your username, and found nothing.

like i said, it could be an error with the site. not to mention i have never seen a cable connection go @ 8mbit from AU, especially a telstra cable connection, only dedicated leased lines!!!
