Speedy internet!

[Shaun]

This is what i get, was used to 4mbit at the old house so this is nice lol

[Shonky]

Guess I can't complain too much about my connection.

[ysu]

Its faster over Ethernet...

What sort of connection is that ? The ping is awesome. What's even more interesting is that it seems to ping the same on wifi...and that's just unbelievable. Never seen anything like it.

i found that even with those speeds, my downloads wernt really that much faster

Do you use download managers? Even something as simple as a DownThemAll firefox plugin can help. (Multi-threaded download can often work around the artificial per-thread download speed limit, although it really depends...) The overseas bandwidth can also be shaped separately. There are just too many factors

Guess I better not complain about mine either then.

YSU - its Telstra 100mbit cable. I'm guessing Mofo would be using the same connection. I ran a few tests on wifi and posted the best, the Ethernet test was the only one I did, so it could well get better average pings than over wifi.

Yep Dex, Ultimate cable over ethernet.

[ysu]

thanks!

[DexterPunk]

Still pretty fast on utorrent.

[DexterPunk]

Often I'm finding the speed is really good. I know EA would have aussie servers, but still really happy with this kind of speed.

We just moved into our new house and the net was switched on this week.
The only provider in the exchange is Telstra so that had me a little worried but we have found a decent plan.


This is shitting on the 2Mb/s that I was on for the last 5 years

[SE1Z]

this is my work....



In reality... it's nowhere near this speed

You complete and utter bastard....

I'm stuck with ~300k/sec at home, and arseholes like you are getting 14mb/sec?!?!?

Jealous!

[DexterPunk]

Haha. Your work one isn't too bad. You're getting 10x my upload speed.

Any idea how far you are from the exchange?

[dvestate]

Depends if you can bypass proxy filters se1z

Its 1414 m from GREENWITH (GWTH) as the crow flies. Estimated cable length of 2191.7 m
Im about 1.1km closer to the exchange than in my previous place.

See this is why I have an issue with my internet.

I have an estimated attenuation of 9, cable length of ~500m.

I am lucky to sync at 14mbps on a good day and often have line dropouts. You're pulling 18mbps at 2.1km

EDIT: But the people on the phone tell me my service is fine because I get more than 8mbps

[DexterPunk]

Just saw a torrent hit 12MB/s! I love this connection.

heh cool site.


You are 2998 m from BATA as the crow flies.
Estimated cable length of 3747.5 m.
Estimated speed of 2500
Zone 1

Thats why im on cable!

[wobblysauce]

You are 1203 m from COWS as the crow flies.
Estimated cable length of 1864.65 m.
Estimated speed of 15000
Zone 2

Getting anywhere from 22,000-18,000.

[Shaun]

You are 4638 m from SALA as the crow flies.

What that site also needs is a slider to simulate how far you are from the nearest node.

[ysu]

yeah, the theoretical limit of 25Mbps is the biggest ever bs, you'll almost never get even near that. Most people are around 10 in fact, best 15. And that's the part they're glazing over big time; the right wing's "solution" is no solution at all - you'll get the same speeds as now.

[wobblysauce]

You mean nothing different from what some people are getting right now..
