    Internet speed

    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
    Mick

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

    Brisbane



    Adelaide

    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
