Re: ISP collation

2010-06-18 Thread Glenn Nicholas
iiNet
ADLS2+ via BoB
4.66Mb/s when using ADLS1 settings G.992.1 (G.DMT)
3.58 Mb/s when using ADSL2+ settings G.992.5 (ADSL2+)
Onslow Rd Shenton Park (about 3.5-4km from exchange)

And yes, isn't it a bit surprising that ADLS1 settings can deliver this kind
of speed. Before I changed the settings (trying to resolve intermittent
dropout issues), I had thought ADSL1 maxed out at 1.5.
Those were the speeds I got today. Although in the past it has tended to
average 4-4.2MB/s for ADSL2+, although it can vary.  The ADSL1 seems very
consistent at 4.6. Faster, more stable, so I prefer ADSL1.

This isn't unusual it seems.

 Hi Alastair

 I'm sure it's the approx 3km of old copper wires connecting us to the
 exchange that let's us down! I'd be very pleased with your 6Mbs ;-)
 But I'm just happy to have broadband at all, having struggled with dial-up
 for many years in the country.
 Next time I move house I'll be checking the distance to the exchange before
 signing any contract!

Hi,
With reference to your query on due date for fees, I hope I am not 
speaking out of turn in my reply.

I am not a member of the WAMUG Committee so have not had access to the 
meetings but it is my belief that the committee is, or is considering, planning 
to make the fees payable at the beginning of the calendar year.  If that is the 
case, then all fee renewals will be due on 1 January 2011.  Committee, please

Re: ISP collation

2010-06-17 Thread Neil Houghton
Hi Lynn,

Feel free to use my info ­ disregarding the 2007 info (which seems suspect
to me) I guess info  typical figures for me would be:

 Service Provider: Internode
 
 Suburb: Albany  (Rowley Street)
 
 Distance from Exchange: 1km
 
 Speed as advertised: 1500/256
 Actual Speed:
 Download: ? 1.4 Mbps (typically in 1300kbps to 1500kbps range)
 Upload: ? 0.2 Mbps (typically high end of 160kbps to 220kbps range)
 
I guess what Severin’s emails yesterday show though is that if you take
actual peoples speed based on one speedtest result it may not be typical of
their actual speed in that the test speeds can vary (a lot) from hour to
hour and you do not know if the (one) result represents a high/low/mid range
result.

My thoughts would be that if a few speedtests show results that seem
consistent with your advertised speed (which is usually a theoretical
maximum for your connection) - then you should be happy (as I am).

If you are getting speeds significantly lower than your advertised then run
a few more tests until you can confirm if that is consistent ­ then you can
start to evaluate whether that is an ISP issue or a specific infrastructure
issue ­ if you are paying for speeds you can never attain (until
infrastructure is upgraded) you may be better downgrading and paying less!


Cheers

Re: ISP collation

2010-06-17 Thread mince and pud


Hi Lynn

I'm still a bit confused - is there a way of measuring actual speed in  
use NOT at a specific time, some readout of average speed?


thanks again for your efforts
alastair

Hi everyone (who may be confused to what info i am collating)

at specific date/time.


Info needed:
Service Provider
Suburb (if you dont mind, also street name - its ok if you dont want  
to)

speed as advertised by provider
actual speed when used

time and ill add that in.

Hi Jane

iinet claim 'up to' 24000kbps for adsl 2+ which makes your 3100 even  
more modest than my 6000...


Mind you I was on a tech call with them once and I remember the router  
was showing a - theoretical, I suppose - download speed of 12000 and  
the bloke reckoned that was good, so even they don't expect 24000 in  
real life.


kind regards
alastair

Hi Lynn

My ISP info is...

Provider: iiNet
Suburb: Stirling
Street: Lanchester Way,
Advertised speed: ADSL2+ (can't see actual speeds advertised on  
iiNet website)

Actual speed: 3.1Mb/s (average)

(unable to do speed test today as we have no dsl connection and  
iiNet say 2-5 business days to fix the problem. Thank goodness for  
iPad 3G!)


Cheers
Jane

Hi Alastair

I know that sometimes might be fast and sometimes slow, but what i meant was 
what average speed would people usually get as aposed to speeds at specific 
dates/times.

and for comparison to what provider advertised.
