Gareh Posted September 7, 2005 CID Share Posted September 7, 2005 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: :::.. Download Stats ..::: Connection is:: 4801 Kbps about 4.8 Mbps (tested with 12160 kB) Download Speed is:: 586 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (server2) Test Time:: Wed Sep 07 2005 23:23:49 GMT+0800 Bottom Line:: 86X faster than 56K 1MB download in 1.75 sec Diagnosis: Awesome! 20% + : 163.65 % faster than the average for host (net.au) Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-874HVLF2N :::.. Upload Stats ..::: Connection is:: 832 Kbps about 0.8 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB) Upload Speed is:: 102 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (server1) Test Time:: Wed Sep 07 2005 23:30:40 GMT+0800 Bottom Line:: 15X faster than 56K 1MB upload in 10.04 sec Diagnosis: Awesome! 20% + : 469.86 % faster than the average for host (net.au) Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-9DRFZLMXC Not to bad for Australia. Thoughts? Edit: Added upload speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elite.Pete Posted September 7, 2005 CID Share Posted September 7, 2005 thats quite good. many factors affect what speed a test will show. if your downloading at over a meg a second then your good to go for sure welcome to the forums Mate! Edit: i couldn't resist the mate part so sorry for my behavior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITALIAN_GUY_22 Posted September 13, 2005 CID Share Posted September 13, 2005 I am going to put my 2 cents worth in it. ADSL2+ 24/1 + 40 GIG with Adam internet for $59 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbaker397 Posted September 13, 2005 CID Share Posted September 13, 2005 my 2 cents, the caps suck. wait, thats fact. but either way, your speeds look good for an overseas test. Especially from Down under! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITALIAN_GUY_22 Posted September 13, 2005 CID Share Posted September 13, 2005 Yeah I know, I used to be neighbourhood cable with 10/10, but I was paying $127, so I thought I might aswell upgrade to 24/1 and pay $59, better download, but worse upload. But cheaper on my wallet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
