Vic Wasteland Thread - 15.0

[Leroy Peterson]

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...

I thought cable was supposed to be fast? 10+mb/s is pretty shit

[HEKT1K]

No idea how fast my internet is

Then again I don't play video games or any shit like that

[Rekin]

I thought cable was supposed to be fast? 10+mb/s is pretty shit

12.5mb/s is 100mbps - that's a good speed. Can't get faster on cable.

Didn't open the attachment, thought it was mbps

I wonder what the IT section at Telstra is like....

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?

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)

[Leroy Peterson]

Yeah I dunno cause I hit 2.9mbs with steam.
Connection dropped out 20mins ago and hasn't come back.... Hmmmmmm

So is this shit? Never been impressed by our internet speeds and we have had this Optus Cable for the last 6+ years.

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.
