Leroy Peterson Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 well its taken a month, a bunch of headaches and more questions than answers, but my telstra cable is finally setup. comparison: (and thats on a good day) Is it worth the trouble and an extra $10 a month? if it can maintain over 10mb/s 24/7 then yes. The provided modem/router is pretty useless... wont tell you speeds or chart usage or even let you change login username (wtf, stuck on admin forever). Now just to figure out if I can use my Fritzbox for Wifi only... 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/458531-vic-wasteland-thread-150/page/551/#findComment-7782530 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be filled with ex-public servants who just dont give a fark and do nothing all day. Or would it be generally younger IT personnel who just dont give a fark and do nothing all day. Or would it be a small team of extremely over-worked individuals that are constantly putting out fires and trying to resolve the countless issues that arise? What Department?

Now just to figure out if I can use my Fritzbox for Wifi only... This image is showing 13Mbps, not 13MBps... 8 Megabit = 1 MegaByte The plan you are on is a 30Mbps plan and you're achieving 13Mbps. Either there is a problem with your connection or there's congestion in your area at the time of testing... Try again later and see if it hits the full speed. This is what a 30Mbps plan should look like: 100Mbps plan should cap out at about 115... Either way you're not likely to see the difference in the two speeds unless you download a lot of big files (not talking about torrents), or need additional upload speed (the 100Mbps plan caps out at ~2.4Mbps up instead of ~1.2) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/458531-vic-wasteland-thread-150/page/551/#findComment-7782605 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odium Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Steam displays speeds in MBps... 2.9Mbps x 8 = 23.2Mbps = edging closer towards your 35'ish maximum. Try http://speedof.me/ and see what result that spits out... I find its a bit more accurate, and doesn't require flash either. Also when testing, make sure nothing else on your network is download anything... and don't be on wireless if you want an accurate result.
