that's good speed.. I get around that speed on ADSL+2..I have hit 700 KB/s at times , ... I assume that you use Utorrent to download Top gear..

okay if you really wanna get technical , I'm about 600 meters from Telstra's exchange and often connect to TPG DSLAM at 22.6 Mb/s

3 different Broadband speed tests.

test 1)

Sprint D/L = 3080 = Kb/s U/L = 390 Kb/s latency 128ms

test 2)

Speakeasy D/L = 2147 kb/s U/L 682 kb/s

test 3)

Megapath D/L = 2664 kb/s U/L = 743 kb/s latency 110 ms

these site are in states


from Ron's speed test site below ( great site Ron ) , here are results

sorry forgot to mention , I'm on a LAN with 3 Computers connected... 2x laptops and 1xPC

We probably need to use the same test.

I used: Oz Broadband Speed Test - Bandwidth Test

I'm on Optusnet cable. These tests were run with two of us surfing the net via a router. The router has this PC hard connected, plus two laptops and two network printers currently connected.

Upload Test

Results

You uploaded 104 KB bytes in 8.45 seconds.
kbps: 100.88
KB/s: 12.61
Mbps: 0.1

1.5Mbps, at least thats what the little connection doover in my system tray is telling me.....

Speed has dropped a little noew - usually does after 6pm when everybody starts surfing...

Mirror: Telstra Bigpond
Data: 600 KB
Test Time: 2.09 secs

Your line speed is 2.34 Mbps (2337 kbps).
Your download speed is 292 KB/s (0.29 MB/s).

You can see my results are abysmal for a cable connection.

well, in theory on cable you should be getting faster but it is not just dependent on your connection, it is dependent on the other end. IF your using torrents then things like seeders and lechers make all the difference.

400 is a good speed but cable is made to run at over 1000kbs and adsl 2 is 2000kbs.

Don't let the Telstra folks use the upload test cause they'll pay in download bandwidth for it!!! hahaha, Telstra is so dodgy!

I'm on Optusnet cable as well.

At the moment I am also downloading some Windows Updates to another machine in the same network.

My results are as follows:
