Internet speeds Options

[GIARUS]

This is my new current speed so happy with it no more 256 hello 1.5 now from 20gb's to 50 gb's of downloads

post what your speed and download limit is

www.speedtest.net
test and put it up

[Jen]

You paid for Internode 1.5mbit? Why not get higher? It just seems strange to me.

Please note: My speed test result is varied a little because I have QOS (quality of service) running to give my IP phone more priority when I am working.

[phrostyboi]

no internode dslam thus making anything adsl2 a stupidly high price?

got the same prob in altona, only adsl2 is telstra and no way am i paying 140 bucks a month for internet

only thing i miss when i moved to altona from camberwell is the lack of a tpg dslam...

Wait a minute, I thought I was on the same DSLAM as you...? The one near Galvin Park just got upgraded to Agile ADSL2+, meaning Internode should give you a minimum of 8mb/s for that price.

Also, your ping is WHACK. Were you downloading when you did that test or something?

Edit:
This is more like what you should be getting, assuming we're on the same plan and exchange:

[gyix]

there is mine

[R4N]

I am limited by the damn 100mbit switches in the library. Still, pretty fast ey?

Edit:

Pretty sure werribee south has its own exchange, he would be at LEAST 5-6km from the galvin park one.

Damn your superior network!

Oh okay. Logically you'd expect them to upgrade it in the fairly near future though I guess...?

Also that still doesn't explain his ping

[TechL]

[GIARUS]

i was trying to get this bluray thing to work

[I.esus]

TPG, $50, 130gb, 70/60.
I'm around 3km from the exchange. DL speed maxes out at around 980k/s, upload just over 100k/s.
Awesome for its price.

Many people complain about TPG, but I've never had any issues, and it's always pretty stable.

[Tank]

eeeehh it does well enough for me, hehe.

Yeah, this is around the same for me. pretty decent value for money. Downloads are awesome, uploads fast enuf.

Yeah, wot a fkn pain in the arse that was. Really messed up access to study notes.

[priorax]

Could be happier with it, but still... Not horrible

while we are posting school/uni ones...doesnt compare but not bad for goverment supplied internet in goverment school

[Redback]

For people that are stuck with Telstra as the only option for ADSL2, primus have some decent plans these days. I have no idea what their service is like though

[R4N]

Home speeds arnt as nice

[TechL]

[Amebix]

Most of these results are photoshoped.

[priorax]

...Photoshop speedtest results? Which ones do you think are photoshoped?

[SirSquidness]

Most of these results are photoshoped.

Not at all. I believe every single one of them.

You should note that the image location for the high ones are all official SpeedTest.net images, hosted on said site.

[GIARUS]

Werribee Campus

[R4N]

Ahh, i work in the city campus

Wireless speeds are a bit slow, but i only use wireless on my netbook here, so I dont notice it too much.

[Redback]

speedtest.net

[Jen]

I'll add a INTERNODE ADSL2+ and Optusnet Premium Speed comparison once my cable modem and data plan gets upgraded.

[wolfmother]

Whoops, forgot that university backbones run on 56k to supply the entire campus.

[Amebix]

Sorry If I've insulted anyones manhood with my photoshop comment.

[SirSquidness]

Sorry If I've insulted anyones manhood with my photoshop comment.

As someone who did not post a thing, my manhood is extremely insulted. :<

[DArenberg]

Sorry If I've insulted anyones manhood with my photoshop comment.

I for one am highly insulted at your accusation therefore do not accept your fake apology, my manhood has taken it quite hard, one will have to stroke it better, or should I leave it for you.

It's real

[Maelstrom]

Seems to be about average. Not far from the exchange here :3

Looking back, there are more disgusting posts than Jeffy's. I apologise

[priorax]

Maelstrom: Most of the high ones are from University's, not residential.

[OM NOM NOM]

I WIN

[Syk0]

I WIN

id be guessing capped? my speed jumps from 9mbps to 13 depending on the day. (multiple tests have proven it)

[Jen]

Maelstrom: Most of the high ones are from University's, not residential.

Mine was a residental post. Telstra velocity 100mbit service

Going by the ping, I am saying more likely 3G

[R4N]

Even 3G doesnt have a ping that bloody high....

Are you screaming tones manually into your phone or something?!

[OM NOM NOM]

No, it's actually my normal speed, I live in the middle of nowhere.

[Apophis]

[jutzy]

[Sando]

Capped

[Syk0]

capped aswell
seems a lot of people are getting capped atm

[Jen]

I promised a reply... and here it is.....
I do believe the words.. "SUCK IT" apply.



Edit: At least this brings me closer to VU/Monash Speeds... without paying a kidney or liver per semester to use the connection. Or being a slave to them either.

[R4N]

Close but no cigar

[Jen]

RETAIL vs UNIVERSITY

I challenge you to post a "RETAIL" connection, not a UNI connection.

[Jen]

I'll take the lack of response R4N as that you cannot come good without VU's phat pipe.
I understand.

Also, no cigar? Thought you didn't smoke?

[Cashman_309]

Eastern Suburbs
Bigpond Cable.

It's a sad day when your mobile internet is faster than your home internet.

[Tofuboi]

The cell site is a bit congested at the moment as all the business people are all, "YAKYAKYAKYAKYAK" on the phone and using data lol.

But yeah, it's good enough for Southbank.

[Chopz]

In The Middle Of Nowhere aswell i might add

[Harlski]

Use to be pretty bad like OP's, but is quite fine now

[soulink]

Same plan, same price, except I think mine spiked at the end Haven't had many problems so far, only little ones that were easily fixable.

[Redback]

From the soon to be demolished AWL venue. (8mbit ADSL)

[Shub0xx]

I'm curious...

All the high speeds are impressive, but I am curious as to download limits associated with said speeds. I'd love to get the speed Zardoz is getting, but if the limit associated with it is capped at a certain level, or counts uploads, it wouldn't last very long.

P.S. Sorry for posting in an old thread, but it seemed to be the most relevant spot, and I cbf creating a new thread. Too tired.

[soulink]

Yay upgrade

[Lord Infamous]

[phrostyboi]

if I must here's mine



TPG off-net (through telstra dslam), actually not half bad for the price

60 bucks a month for 100 / 100 which I haven't even got close to hitting yet

Best i've seen out of it was downloading SP1 for win7 which peaked out at about 1.5MB a sec which I thought was alright

[jutzy]

if only i was at home
id be so happy

shuboxx, I've got the same service Zardoz does (until he ditched it and kept the new modem) and for $129 or $149 I think including unlimited homephone the premium speed comes with 1TB of anytime usage (both directions counted).

I've hardly scratched the surface (mostly because Optus needs to get their shit together and shut their legs)
