Thread: What's your internet speed?

often connect to TPG DSLAM at 22.6 Mb/s

Well Disco owner that is about 1000 times faster than my dial up in the country.
When you are posting photos etc remember us slow connections just can not load some posts with large format photos.

sure , I'll definitely keep that in mind for next time , i actually do have to reduce the size of the photos before posting them up..otherwise site won't allow me to upload them if they are too big.

This sounds more correct.

I'll second that! Remember there is a large part of Australia does not have any form of broadband available except satellite (which I will probably have to get eventually) and even when this is used the speed will be nothing like that available from cable or ADSL.

Out at work we have Satellite Internet and TV. Optus have a mobile cell a few K's away and there is juuuuuuust enough signal to get reception if outside on a fine day and facing Nth whike standing on one leg.
Dialup Internet is useless, Telstra won't replace 5 Kilometers of paired cable just so we can get dialup, similarly, Faxes don't come through for 3-4 days after it rains, the lines have to dry out.
All of this just 100 kilometers from Melbourne!
