Here is an example

Your download speed : 2761084 bps, or 2696 Kbps.
A 337 kB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 321633 bps, or 314 Kbps.
 

Bellsouth's upload is up to 384Kbps.

-REH

You get  ~ 250 Kbps, the advertised package is UP TO 384 Kbps, what's wrong?  .

Do yet get faster upload speeds elsewhere?

My upload's only 128 Kbps, haha. . Don't say yours is horrible. .

But my download is 10 Mbps, crazy differance compared to upload speeds isn't it..  :shock.

Which other sites do you use to test  upload speed, it all depends on the route you go via to get to the testmy.net server in Dallas, Texas and congestion/latency/packet loss on the backbone links.

Bigpond Cable, Australia.

Lol, gaming is fine. . Locally I get  anywhere from 5 ms - 15 ms pings ( Sydney servers, I live in Sydney, Australia).

For instance:

Pinging gamearena.com.au [144.135.23.52] with 32 bytes of data:

Ping statistics for 144.135.23.52:
    Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
    Minimum = 6ms, Maximum = 9ms, Average = 7ms

(In gameing is higher of course.. but still very low).

Yes. It does... :p. But that's just the unfortunate thing for living in Australia, It's a large island, most servers are international, so eveything has to go literally overseas.

Yeah, that's about right. I get nice pings to testmy.net though... Like very good for international:
