Speed Test

ADSL connection at the office



Sydney is actually 400km away. I think it's bouncing via Melbourne.

Do you see now why I call what we have here "fraudband?"

I've seen faster ... but distance is always a problem.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Here's Simon Hackett's take on it (http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=575852&ux=6258).

(As a matter of interest, this picks up the X-Forwarded-For header supplied by my transparent proxy, even though it is an internal IP. Hence the distance is utterly wrong...)

I have "RoadRunner Lite", a far less than optimum cable service---but it's only $30 per month. The test shows (can't get the image to work!) about 760kb/s down; 125kb/s up. Pretty much what I was promised! :D

fraudband? not _too_ shabby

To Sydney

Hmmm... close to what I sorta paid for I guess, 256 down, the up is a little slow, but then, I've got things running there that keep things open
