Internet speed
i have ADSL and comparing this on another forum my speed seems wayfully slow. some were over 6000 but none were as slow as mine and i realise that connection here to Telstra and the exchange we have is very old and the others may be cable and wireless, has anyone got the same as me.
I tried the test with a different site and came up only marginaly faster at 526 kb/s
Cheers Fred
The difference between light and hard is that you can sleep with the light on.

Here's the results of my test to speedtest.net. (Bigpond Cable)
I ran the test several times and got wildly varying results from 8000kbps to 30000kbps.
It seems to depend which test server the application connects to.
Try going to Whirlpool for a discussion of broadband speeds etc. There are also some links to other local speed tests.
I did a comparison recently to see if I could get reasonable speeds with ADSL. Even though my local exchange does have ADSL2+ capabilities, at 5 Kms from the exchange, the best speed I could hope for was <8000kbps.Geoff

My Cable plan is Liberty Extreme which is supposed to be up to 30 Mbps, not sure if it's available in all Bigpond cable areas.
What product are they trying to get you to buy?
FWIW, here's another speed test site: OzSpeedTestLast edited by snowyskiesau; 18th June 2008 at 04:25 PM. Reason: Added URL
