Ok I have had ADSL in the past but this blew me away..

This is what I have had..

Started with a 512k ADSL plan with a perth provider and it was awesome! Was downloading at about 55k per second !!

I Then upgraded my plan and got 1.5MB with the same provider.

Was getting about 175k per second downloads!! That was pure joy compaired to my good old 56k beast that would get me 4k if I was lucky!

I then went back to dialup whilst I rented for the past year.

Last week i thought why not I'll do it..

I got ADSL2 setup.

I connect to the internet at 12345k per second ( 12.34mb ) and my upload speed is 1024k per second ( 1mb )

I have hit speeds of 1270k per second!!! And thats not buffered at the start of a file thats average on the iiNET ADSL FTP Speed tests.

OHHH MY GOD!!!

:P

Who else has 12MB ADSL and what speeds are you getting??

I *had* Amnet's 8mb when I was living in East Perth and would regularly get speeds of 800-950k/s from international linux iso sites *cough*

Now I'm back on 1.5mb in Ocean Reef with not really any hope in hell of it being upgraded for DSL2 in the future :P

YOU'RE ALL BASTARDS!

What did you use to test your speeds? I'm in Hillarys and aren't sure which exchange I'm hooked up to.. I'm hoping it's Mullaloo and not ocean Reef!

DL speeds have been around 150-300k/sec.. that would be a 1.5Mb link?

cam just check your settings on your router if your using one..... in your web browser type 10.1.1.1 and login all the settings will come up and it will tell you at what speed your connection is

i'd say yours is just over 1.5mb if your getting between 150-300kb/sec

i'm on 1.5 flat and i get around 120-200kb/sec

Holy shit... rerading this thread makes me cringe... I was on 40mbps at home and 100mbps at work back in Japan :P

Why in the heck does Australia suck at internet so much???

I can have uptp 1gb/sec at work with the flick of a switch :D (God bless Fibre)

But I just have to settle for 15mb Fibre these days :)

    • And the rules change with time ...but speaking to the premise you raise here, some of us old farts will remember seeing every police motorbike with a rubber rear mudflap extension, fitted to the end of the rear mudguard. This was due to an ADR that required the rear mudguard to extend lower than the rear axle (iirc 15 degrees lower as measured at the axle center line)...it was changed in '89 updates, but basically before that date, any road going motorbike was technically 'illegal' (unroadworthy) ...the whole area is a real prickly pear... 😃
