in that case I'd say they "virtually know" it.

my LAN is slower than that...

Have to say, my jaw dropped a bit when those numbers came up.

Pretty sure my harddrive couldn't do those speeds, I assume that is using SSD.

velociraptors could do 200MB/s, that's 1600Mb/s, so yes, they can do it.
Edit:oh, sorry, your HDD may not have been able to do it.

I was on a MacPro... No idea what HDD it has... Id imagine it's at least a 7200rpm.

Download to ram then buffer it off to HD.

Fast d/l for me tonight...

Finally got my new connection

Der teufel soll das alles buserieren !
I wants my NBN!

Actual downloads are slightly faster.

Well fuck me. Beat that. Not mine, sadly. Some dude has paired up two NBN connections.

Moving house over the weekend and can get 100mb cable at the new place It better be worth the 90 minute phone call to telstra :@

I moved house recently and went from 4Mb/s to a whopping 6Mb/s. On the plus side it's a 50% improvement, I guess.

When I've moved houses I came down from ~10mbps to the current crap: early evening congestion: 2.5mbps with huge latencies and unexplainable dropouts. On a good day I get 4mbps with 40ms lag . It was (is) a horrible experience. I never knew ADSL is such rubbish if it's over-provisioned and far from the exchange. I didn't think exchanges were this far apart in some places.

And my NBN connection just keeps slipping farther like a mirage in the distance.

I can apparently get VDSL at my new place which is meant to give awesome speeds but I've never actually heard of it before?

It can give you great speeds, if you are within a bees dick of the exchange/cabinet.

Guy at work just bought a house, he said his Mrs looked at him weird when they were looking in the garage and he excitedly said "woohoo NBN" when he saw the NBN equipment

my house is "nbn ready" the street however is not.

6 months of nothing and im happy with my 3mb line!

Not as exciting as NBN but when I moved into my current place, I noticed (afterwards) that almost every room has an Ethernet port. I was pretty excited about that.

Exactly as I feel, at least mine is reliable (save for a one week outage recently due to something dying at the exchange) but max. download speed is around 410 kbps.

Turns out we have VDSL2 available through TransACT (iinet) which could give pretty decent speeds (60/16). Having just paid the connection fee and everything else to switch over to the new address with Internode and with all the other craziness involved in settling into a new place (sooooo much has gone wrong it's not funny) I think I'll sit on it until I'm really hankering for some high speed internet.
