Internet speeds. What do you get?

[431neb]

I'm with Optus and I (think) I have a cable internet connection. There's a little grey box on the side of the house so assuming it is paid up and connected that means I have cable. Can you tell this isn't my thing?

Sometimes the internet seems to run slow and it takes ages to download porn AHB and other pages / forums.

So I did a test on this website http://speedtest.syd.optusnet.com.au and found that my download speed is 18908 kbps and my upload was 488 kbps.


Maybe others might be interested enough to share their speeds here to see if we are getting what we are paying for.

190kb/s download 49kb/s upload

Samsung galaxy on Telstra network

TPG ADSL approx 1km from exchange tested with Speedtest.net 1336kbps down 210 kbps up

Can only get ADSL2+ if using Telstra.

Edit changed units to match.

At work 35ms ping, 37.45Mbps up 3.63Mbps down (on a 200Mbps connection shared between about 150 odd users)
*edit* At home I'm on 29ms ping 1.35Mbps down 0.21Mbps up at 1511 meters out (cable length) from the exchange on a 1.5Mbps connection

I have a terrible connection here: 400kb/s download speeds. Last house was 1100kb/s. Was very disappointed after the move.

Kilobytes or Kilobits?
if it's Kilobytes, that's not actually too bad on the grand scheme of things

I get 12.6 Mbps download, and 0.8 Mbps upload, on iiNet ADSL2+.

More than sufficient... for now.

 

[Liam_snorkel]

8.9Mbps down 0.78Mbps up. Exchange a km or 2 away. That upload speed is ******* frustrating when I work from home. Missed out on getting the actual NBN before the dinosaurs took over.

Mine is exactly the same - 12 download, 0.8 upload. Quite happy with that.

We are fairly lucky in UK.
Even in a rural area I get 80mbit down 20mbit up with sub 10ms ping for £25 and is completely unlimited with no 'shaping'.
This includes some extras such as 50Gb cloud storage and 4 sports channels (BT).

Thanks for the replies people.

 

[thedragon]

11 mbps down and 1 mbps up.

We have iinet naked adsl and are about 2km from exchange. We pay about $50 per month for 100gb and includes all national land line calls.

We've been very happy with the service.

No affiliation. Just a happ customer.

50273 kbps download, 2366 kbps upload. Telstra broadband. Got sick of crappy wireless and slow speeds with other providers so swallowed my pride and returned to the giant with my tail between my legs.

Kilobytes. It's alright, but it was frustrating to move house and take a 60% cut in speed.

Jeeez, they'll cut it with anything nowadays. h34r:

I'm on Telstra cable 3.0, so can (and do) get upwards of 95mb/s from a PC on wired network. almost always get around 2.5mb/s up.


This one is from my tablet over wireless (54g theoretical max).

[bum]

12.13Mbps down/0.8Mbps up. Ping is a RIDICULOUS 69ms

What services are people using that are reporting in bytes? :huh:

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

Some of you guys are almost as fast as Abbott/Turnbull high speed internet

 

[sp0rk]

I've got the NBN gents coming out next week, so hopefully there is no remediation work to be done and I'll have 100Mbps by saturday next week
