i used adelaide because darwin didn't have one but my internet provider is based in adelaide so it seemed like the logical choice?

wasnt expecting it to be that fast, seeing as the fastest download I've seen so far is 50kb/s

hmm.

its meant to be ADSL2, but its rather far from the exchange, and up in the hills, plus, I'm connected via a wireless network.

Your download speed will always be slower than your line speed.

The difference is because your ISP's line speed is measured in Kilo Bits per second (Kbps) where as the rate of data download is measured in Kilo Bytes per second (KBps)

There are 8 bits to 1 Byte .... 8 Kilo Bits (Kb) = 1 Kilo Byte (KB)

This article helps explain the difference

sebastopol, ballarat (vic)

yes, but even so, 3400kilobits/s is still 425KiloBytes/s, and the most I've seen is 50kB/s

ok, today its downloading at 200KB/s, nice haha

And our net is backed off abit too

meh

you all suck

Do you have to put your ISP in yourself? Or does it detect? That looks like an American ISP, not a Melbourne one.

Hmmm... ISP seems a long way from Melbourne!

Real world speeds are:

Download: 940kB/s
Upload: 100kB/s
Ping: 999999999999999 milliseconds

i live in brisbane, yet i get better results on melb, syd and canberra servers...

This one's from Home in Boronia

Yay! I'm the slowest so far

Home - Internode 512kb/128kb plan

stone, ill do mine from home tonight... thats if it stays connected long enough but it will be slower

Oh yeah! Im faster than Stone



haha. 512 plan ATM aswell. Looking to upgrade soon though.

512 is fast enough for me... Browsing is fine, downloads are fine... If they bring prices down, i'd upgrade, but at $70 for 512kb/30GB limit, i'm not spending anymore.

[edit] Just contacted Internode... Changing to 1500kb/25GB next month, wish I could get ADSL2+ though

Not bad considering my PC is 7 years old

I thought most communications run 10 bits = 1 byte due to overheads, etc. not to mention the packet overheads....

edit: I can't spell

1 Byte equals 8 bits

This may help to clarify

Wifi from a base server in Iraq....



Am i correct in saying I win the wooden spoon???

EDIT: Was downloading a bucketload of torrents the first time I tried it
