A very long time ago I remember someone posting a link that could show you how fast your internet connection was.
Telstra have just supposedly jumped me from 256k to 1500k, but I really don't notice that sort of difference.
Anyone know how I can check.

Thanks for that. As I suspected after trying a few, I'm not even getting 256 speed.

Good old telstra.

Thanks Inside, very handy.
Ditto here also in regard to lack of download speed (coming up as 227!!!).....I'll try at various times throughout the day and see if/what any differences recorded.

Cheers

Your speed will vary greatly depending on the server you use to test your speed:

I got the same correspondence and noted the asterix after their 1500kbs claim. It said plainly that the 1500 was 'theoretical' and would not be attainable in reality. ...Advertising

Upload speed has not changed much no matter what change is made

I used to get better before, I think the more people that sign up the slower it gets. I used to get 11000 - 18,000kbps
