what is the most accurate way of measuring the d/load speed ?
Through the speedometer of the ISP or one of the free ones on
the i/net ?
Thanks,
Walter

Thanks Paul,
That's cheered me up no end!! I live in Dunsborough and we are
currently with Westnet and get max speed of 425 KB/s, most of the
time because we are 3km from the nearest exchange we run at only
250 KB/s..... takes 35 to 45 minutes minimum to download one
episode of House! But it is the best service around here... or so
I am told. Customer service with Westnet is the best I have
experienced with any provider bar none.

I get line speed of at least 5.85 Mbps (7321 KB/s) with Westnet
from the Palmyra exchange and I'm over near Stock Road, which must
be near the eastern edge of their territory. Getting a Belkin N1
modem/router made a big improvement. I never have dropouts any
more, whereas with the original iConnect 624 supplied by Westnet,
dropouts were common and the speed was slower.
Cheers, Paul

be aware.....
they promise adsl2+ & better....but you may only get adsl1, you get
to know that !!!!after!!!! you signed the contract eg in the
palmyra & double view area you cannot get adsl2 because telstra
cause a muckup in the phone line wiring & is not interested to
replace the wiring for better service, max speed there is 1.5 mbps
& you have to pay a higher rate to get that "amazing high speed"
we should actually write a letter to Kevin Rudd about these
problems with tel$tra
ask a neighbour who allready has internet about the speed they have

Hey guys
in the process of upgrading to a better/new internet plan
the requirements where no more then $40 a month and had to be ADSL2+
Whirpool gives me a number that fit this bill:
Netspace, AAPT, Netbay, Exetel and iPrimus
ive narrowed down the choice to Netspace, Exetel and iPrimus
anybody had much experience with any of these companies??
