Faction Posted December 26, 2001 Author Share Posted December 26, 2001 I had to deal with that for 2 years, finally- this month i could get DSL, and got it up and running monday. /me donces :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davjak Posted December 26, 2001 Share Posted December 26, 2001 Yeah Aussie cable sucks.. and Telstra just started to enforce there 3gig limit a month.. thats a joke :( 100mb a day.. I do that on 56K often.. I'd prob go with Optus but still for the price I dont know if I would use it enough to consider it being worth the extra $50 a month I'd pay.

aco Veteran Posted December 26, 2001 Veteran Share Posted December 26, 2001 Don't you just love doing speed tests when your connection is fast. ;) One I always use when my connection is fast is TCP/IQ, when my connection is running normally, I don't want to know. :D http://www.tcpiq.com/tcpiq/linespeed/linespeed.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aco Veteran Posted December 26, 2001 Veteran Share Posted December 26, 2001 Originally posted by Winston hey aco arent u with telstra? how can u get fast speeds? unless ur a uncapped one There is a way my friend. ;) And when it goes, it goes off! :) But I suppose it doesn't matter now with the 3GB cap, fast speeds are useless. :disappoin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davjak Posted December 26, 2001 Share Posted December 26, 2001 Im pretty sure Optus is capped at 128kbps up and 512kbps down I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aco Veteran Posted December 26, 2001 Veteran Share Posted December 26, 2001 Originally posted by goofydave Im pretty sure Optus is capped at 128kbps up and 512kbps down I think You got half of it right, but the download is uncapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faction Posted December 26, 2001 Author Share Posted December 26, 2001 Hmm.. for anyone that dosnt understand, having 768 down dosnt mean you download at 768 kbps, you download at about 90 kbps. I have 1.5 down, which means i download at 192 kbps max. People that still use att@home can get speeds up to 900 kbps download, and oou has uncapped download still as well. DSL.. you cant like pyscically go faster than 1.5 or somthing like that. theres your test ACO :D dunno how im gettin 281.. since it should be maxed at 192.. maybe i did math wrong.. =. whatver good thing for me :D. reason i brought this all up is becasue ACO said that teslta or somthing was 512 down.. and then you said speeds max out at 800 kb/s.. dosnt work that way. .

aco Veteran Posted December 26, 2001 Veteran Share Posted December 26, 2001 LOL, the first test looks alot nicer for you. :) Faction, you got half of it right. :D KB = KiloByte Kb (Kbps) = Kilobit There are 8 bits in a Byte, therefore 512Kbps down = 64KB/s. EDIT: Faction, If you look closely, I said that the Optus uncapped speed maxes out at around 800KB/s. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezza Veteran Posted December 26, 2001 Veteran Share Posted December 26, 2001 I was with Telstra ADSL before (512/128), but that 3 gig monthly limit is totally laughable. More, the service always down. I get out of Telstra and now on 56k and next year I will subscribe other broadband providers. Arghhhhhh......I wanna go back to broadband!!! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MxxCon Posted December 26, 2001 Share Posted December 26, 2001 folks, your speed results might be very accurate if you use only 2 servers that are on DSLR. try these Seattle San Francisco Los Angeles Chicago Denver Dallas Boston NYC Atlanta Washington, D.C Philadelphia ...there are some other i don't remember most major cities should have speakeasy's pop w/ such benchmark applet.
