Your internet connection?

[Casio]

Canberra has less people using their services, which will give you a much better ping(less the better). A lower ping gives you a better connection also.

Yeah, that's a good point.

Had another whirl at a not so peak time.

Hopefully I can beat 100 soon.

 

[Turbo Lag]

Bleh.

 

[Timppaq]

I host a lot in gt5p

 

[tfujiwara]

 

[nick09]

I would agree in that situation.

 

[Thiele]

Looking at most of these this isn't very fast (understatement? 💡) but i've never used anything faster and i thought this speed was brilliant when i got it.

 

[Mad94d]

Look at how slow mine is.

 

[Thiele]

Look at how slow mine is.

Slower than mine. ROFL. I didn't think i'd see one on here slower than mine. On another note, your 300km from Sydney?

 

[Mad94d]

Not 300km. Maybe around 100? Takes an hour. That's the fastest internet we can get in our area.

 

[theewar]

I pay for 3mb and i have yet to get it.

I have the fastest we can get where i live. I pay $40/month for 500kb/s and 5GB.

Wow:



Wow again:



Never knew my connection could be so fast. Must be the high ping.

 

[nick09]

Well you need to know these speeds are based on Megabits not Megabytes. Their are 8 bits per a byte and to get your speed in megabytes from megabits, you need to divide the result by 8. Speedtest by default posts the results in bits but you can change it to bytes in your settings as I learned from this page here. Also read about #15 on that page, it explains ping there.

 

[Thiele]

Hmm, so my speed was really only like 0.06MB/s Thanks nick

My speed's just been capped because i somehow used up my 5GB monthly allowance.


This is just ridiculous.

Wait, this is a random n00b question, but is that why when you get a 512kb/s connection, it only downloads at 50-60KB/s? They must measure it in kilobits.

 

[boiltheocean]

And yet we pay for 8.
Fraud on the internet my 🤬. More like fraud before your on the internet.

 

[Casio]

Yeah it's kikobits not kilobytes. 512/8 equals 64.

 

[TB]

Paying for 7168/896 Kbps
Receiving 6072.32/757.76 Kbps

Give or take.

Behold the performance you recieve for just $120 per month (Telstra's ultimate 'Superfast' ADSL2+) in Australia:

What a joke. I don't see how anyone could possibly want to live in this inept country.

Lol owned. And I'm not even paying half $120.

 

[Thiele]

It feels faster tonight:

 

[nick09]

So to theory with my connection I can download in 1.25MB/s and upload in 121.25KB/s but the upload is a tad bit off as I have uploaded as high as 140KB/s.

 

[mr_VOLCANO]

noob question: If I have 500ms ping, does that mean half second delay?

 

[ripping_silk]

on wireless

 

[JoshB1984]

That's for straight to cable modem.

That's for straight to router modem up to 6 PCs.

You cant be serious...my family pays $50 a month and it just comes up and bites you on the bum...

Apparently my ISP sucks. Fifty-four percent = teh fail. Fortunately I've not had an issue for over a year* and when I did it was handled within the hour.

[Sharky.]

My university's wireless. Funny thing is speedtest used one of the uni's own servers to perform the test! LOL

Yes that is true.
