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!
