ADSL in Australia

« on: September 07, 2005, 08:20:04 AM »

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:: http://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:: http://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:: http://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:: http://testmy.net/stats/id-9DRFZLMXC

Not to bad for Australia.

Thoughts?

Edit: Added upload speed.

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

Roughly $54 USD.

my 2 cents, the caps suck. wait, thats fact. but either way, your speeds look good for an overseas test. Especially from Down under!

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.
