In the wilds of Wanneroo, my download speeds (ADSL) average around
2Mbps. Uploads are, of course, slower. No NBN until possibly mid 2018.

Re: Download and upload speeds Hi Graeme,
Down in darkest Albany, not on broadband:
Ping 37ms
Download 11.31Mbps
Upload 0.95 Mbps
This seems fairly typical for me and ping time does not seem to
influence download speed (one test had a ping of 64ms but a download
speed of 12.88Mbps.
Your results sort of confirm what worries me about the NBN – the
network/technology gives better speeds but, because of the high
wholesale costs, the service providers don’t buy enough bandwidth to
give good user speeds when congested.
I’m more than happy with my existing package and speed (happily stream
iView & SBS on demand) until I am forced to change to NBN – I expect
it will cost me more but offer me no real benefit.
Part of the trouble is that the ISPs seem to base their expected
traffic on pre-NBN usage – but as Smart TVs and other streaming
devices become more widely used bandwidth consumption increases
rapidly and NBN wholesale costs are expensive – so to maintain their
margins they either have to scrimp on bandwidth or charge much more.
I expect quite a lot of consumer complaints about actual service
standards.
Just my 2c worth ;o)
Cheers
Neil

I ran a test this week using Speedtest.app following my download
of High Sierra not that I thought the speed would improve by
reason of the latest download but I thought that
the speeds reflected by my test may be useful for comparison with
members in other areas.
I accept that the speed recorded was that at the time of the test
but comparisons may be helpful
I live in the Mt Pleasant area and have had the NBN for over 12 months
My recorded speeds were as follows
Ping 2ms
Download 11.1 Mbps
Upload 2.47 Mbps
Are these details of interest to members?
