Broadband Speedtest

Broadband Speedtest

Wow, broadband speedtest says my internet speed is a whopping 14166kps!!! :D

kenjie March 26th, 2010

Mine is 1288 kbps, so about equal with Oman's average.

I am with Telstra...

RS March 26th, 2010

I am with Telstra Big Pond, and over the last six months, my internet will be coasting along nicely, then all of a sudden my speed will suddenly drop out so that i cannot encode fast enough to broadcast my online radio show, it was happening around 11.25-11.30am daily now its starting as early as 8am and consistantly happens throughout the day, i believe i am offline more than online and for this fabulous privelidge i pay $90 a month. weve had Big Pond Techs out who have checked the pit and line in from the street, ive paid my pc tech to check my pc and router etc and both say its BIG POND, as I am leaving the country within a couple of months its too expensive to swap providers but i have nothing good at all to say about Telstra Big Pond!

I'm new here...just clocked 1157kbs, live in Tasmania and am with Netspace. I pay for ADSL2+.
Can anyone tell me what speed I should be getting for my money?

I'm with Westnet @ home in Perth and I got 15946kbps. I guess I can't complain. :-)

Kozy2010 March 31st, 2010

I live in North West Sydney (Hills area). I am clocking around the 3000kbps. I am with tpg which say that 70% of their customers achieve more than 10mbps. It would seem that I am only getting around a third of that. Is it possible that this is due to my connection being wireless. Anyone with a similar issue?

abudhabi April 3rd, 2010

32000. With www.speedtest.net I've hit around 36,000 but that pretty much caps it out. I'm with Telstra, although these speeds don't really help that much. They're good if you're downloading from somewhere like iTunes, multiple downloads, games (e.g Steam) where you're downloading large items and from decent sites.

Unfortunately with most sites you're capped by their upload rather than your download.

And I'm with Telstra, they're really not that bad :P

DotaDei April 4th, 2010

Guys ADDL2+ speed is determined primarily by the "wire" distance you are from the exchange. speeds are from 24 mbps (close ) to 1 mbps at 5Km from exchange.
I have an Internode graph showing expected speeds/ against wire distance from the exchange
Not that "wire" distance is not necessarily road distance.In my case its pretty close coz I measured it both ways. Once you know the distance, report slow speeds as it "Encourages" ISPs to improve things.

richie2 April 6th, 2010

I got 26533Kbps, I dont understand why every ones looks so much lower in the comments. Am I reading the results incorrectly. I'm with Bigpond and have rarely any issues. Only last week for the first time I lost connection and had to power off the modem and everything was working great again.

frog100 April 11th, 2010

I am with TPG. I pay for ADSL2 and am currently getting about 1000kbps I used to get 1200 with my old ADSL1 connection. WHen I first switched over 4 - 5 years ago I was getting 7000 to 13000 kbps. What is going on with broadband in this country. Are we a 3rd world backwater????

Oakes2001 April 13th, 2010

i'm with iinet and scored 5500kbps....less than half of Palestine!!! how about 4th world!?!?

biisuto April 14th, 2010

I am with Optus. Just had a sales guy ring me to to advise Optus are offering new plans for Cable at speed of 20mbps. He said Optus cable is as fast as ADSL2. Does anyone know if this is correct?
My current speed is 9,502kps.

Kristos0601 April 14th, 2010

Got 10355 Bigpond Cable i8n Adelaide

roger31 April 17th, 2010

getting 45 k out of Primus. i am in the bush , so my expectations were never high, never the less Telstra salesman still tried to sell me ADSL2. Still, if if he is calling from Mumbai he wouldn't know would he.

oldcol April 19th, 2010

went up to 55K today, woop de doo

rickdalgrin April 21st, 2010

My router says it's running @ ~17Mbps, ZDNet reports ~13.5Mbps & I still cannot stream UTube or any other video in HD. I'd love 100Mbps & maybe the NBN will provide it, but at it's present rate of deployment, I'll be DEAD B4 it arrives.......great!!!!

Keith Styles April 23rd, 2010

OptusNet is number 1 thats surprising.. dodo is number 11.....thats it this is rigged

michail2787 April 25th, 2010

Im getting a whopping 397kbps at the best of times and I'm in Brisbane (Forest Lake) and paying top dollar. I don't have a hope of viewing a 'how to' or streaming iview or youtube.
I can't believe that in 2010 I'm getting such **** service but boy you should hear all the great excuses I get!

Daytripper800 April 26th, 2010

Daytripper800, its people like you (and others - refer above), who those of us who already have decent comms, should feel for and be trying to help gain better, ASAP.

This is why I get annoyed when "other/particular people" with their own political and especially, financial agenda's, come here to talk utter nonsense about not needing a NBN.

People like you, living in a "Capital city", oldcol in the bush and rickdalgrin in Sunshine Beach, neglected by the current providers (one in particular, who needs a good boot in the backside) prove we do need a NBN and I hope you all soon get it, hang in there.

RS April 26th, 2010

I used to complaon at how fast melbourne and sydney speed is but My speed is better than their as the worst of times usually sits at 19000 to 21000Kbps. how can i complain Telstra BiG pond.

neephius April 30th, 2010

My speed is 24 kbps. I am with Telstra Bigpond wireless package. I was getting much faster speeds when I was working last year in Central Africa.

Swansong April 30th, 2010

Wow, I just "upgraded" my optus cable to "double speed, increased cap, half price" from a plan I bought a few years ago, and I'm getting 3mbps compared with the 10mbps I used to get.

Optus can go die in a fire and what should I do.

nickwalnut May 2nd, 2010

221 mbps on megalink wireless nth Victoria - not good enough for what we pay!

kartiya May 7th, 2010

Telstra bigpond elite liberty Cable
Sunday evening at 8:54pm
Line speed = 23,848 Kbps
Best I have ever got; however it does vary a lot, the average seems to be around 10,000Kbps

- Positano99

Positano99 May 16th, 2010

I am in Sawtell NSW. Aust. Just bought a basic telstra wireless. average speed is 200Kbps, today it is 345. I ask the telstra girl if i go to Elite will it be faster, she said probably not. I ask the speed where she was standing at her shop and could not tell me. Telstra tells me whatever, just try it and see what you get. Whats going on, why cant these companies that sell you this advanced technology give me a simple answer of an average speed in each suburb.

mook1000 May 22nd, 2010

THIS COULD SAVE YOU $$$$ no bull i no its alot to read but trust me it .ay help u or some 1 u know
im with optus on ADSL2+ in brisbane where im getting a line speed of 283kbps which is the best ive ever gotten, yesterdays results at 4:30pm on ozspeedtest were 44kbps for line speed and a download speed of 0.01MB/s. which is suposed to be up to 24000kbps!
I spent 3 hours on the phone to optus which the first 2 were trouble shooting and optus finding every possible way to blame me for the problem (even though all of the troubleshooting did not make a difference to the speed) where i then spoke to the supervisor who still insisted that it had to be my fault and not theirs (i have a month old laptop with a modem that was provided from optus (netgear) when i signed up)
where i then spoke to a senior supervisor who told me that there was a cabeling problem at the exchange ( which is 5/10 mins max drive up the road) and that ADSL2+ was not available in my area and had been down since the 10th of august 2009 .. FUNNY THAT isnt it since i signed up with optus by a door to door sales person in november of 2009!!! if my memory serves me right november comes after august and the past 6months i have been paying $99 a month for ADSL2+ (ozspeedtest graph shows im getting DIAL UP SPEEDS )
when they new darn well my area couldnt even get it!!!
i have been refunded over $300 for the internet for the past 6 months and told that the problem will be fixed by end of may ....( yeah right!) and that if it is not fixed by end of may i can cancel my contract with no fees..
i asked if any one else had been refunded were i was told 35 to 40 ppl have been refunded that have called about the problem to which i then asked if they were going to contact any one in my area that is paying for ADSL2+ and unaware of the cabeling problem and that they were not getting ADSL2+ to make them aware and give them a refund aswell to which i was given a straight out NO.
so if u are getting really bad speeds like i am it really does pay to check it out and dont just let them tell u its ur fault or assume its just because its peak time DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT dont let the big guys take ur money and not give u what ur paying for u wouldnt pay for a family meal deal at maccas and walk away with only a small fries would u? so dont let them bully u into thinking its ur fault when its not stand up for ur self and if they hang up on u keep calling back u never no u just might end up with hundreds of $$$ back just like i did ..
i have taken my story to the ACCC (who will hopefully do something about it ) to ACA who will be getting back to me and to my local paper if u have a similar story please at least take it to ACCC - australian competition and consumer commission ( it only took 15mins of my time on the phone) the more people who report it the more likely it is they will do a full blown investigation into these sorts of things with telecommunications industry. im just really hoping that the average aussie like me are not ripped off and scammed and know about these issues and can get their money back so check ur speed if its slow question it and get the word out becuse i am not the only person this has happened to its happening with telstra to so who knows what other retailers are doing the same thing and they are not willing to call u and let u know u need to call them !!! sorry i rambled on so much it just really P**es me off that they are trying to get away with it . let me no what u guys think about this issue and any ideas what else i could try to do to get those unsuspecting innocent ppl a refund.

OPTUSFRAUD May 24th, 2010

I have bothe Telstra and Optus wireless "broadband" modems. On occasions more often than n ot BOTH are very slow. Far slower than advertised. Optus was down to less than 5Kbps, yes that's right the decimal is not in the wri=ong place, 5 Kbps !! The last two days has seem Telstra as high as 3 Mbps but the average is around 2-300Kbps for both. Neither meet their piublished figures non a regular basis. I am in suburban Hobart - the telcom backwoods!!

JohnMcB May 24th, 2010

my current speed is 27k on a monday morning at 01 am. practically not moving!!!
Is always like this I need to check my plan with Telstra but I am sure that I pay over $ 100 per month. Ridiculous and dishonest !!!

kikko10 May 31st, 2010

Speed tests are great, but if you really want to know how much your being ripped off by, then what you need to do is, Look at your ADSL Modems connection..

Dont read the hype and BS found on the web.. As your modem should connect at what has been promised, and any connection less than promised is in fact a connection that has been throttled down, via connecting to many modems to an available Router at your local Substation for your localality..
Anyway, if your ISP is doing the right thing,
For an ADSL2+ "aka G.992.5 annex A" connection - It should typically be around "Up/Down" = "1000Kbps/24000kbps" no if and no butts!..
Connections exhibited by your modem with figures less than the above shows you are being robbed as your in fact sharing YOUR ADSL2+ with another modem if your conection is around half or less, For example - if your modems connection is around 8 Mbps then you are sharing YOUR ADSL2+ with two other Modems "three including yours" on the same connection to a 24 Mbps..

And if I were you - I would take screen shots of your modems connections and refer the matter to the telecommunications ombudsman, because this is not on!..

ENOUGH is ENOUGH!

KorAllRBare June 11th, 2010

I'm with Telstra and we just upgraded to ADSL2+
My laptop is getting an average of 13000kbps.
That is on a connection with 3 other computers playing online games.
I live in the country although the exchange is only 3k away.
So judging by some of the reports ppl are giving I think I'm doing well.
Cheers

hello everyone. i'm new here and i live in china, guangzhou city.i dont know id my net speed enough. i pay for ADSL2
just now i got the results 1961kbps
so it's good enough?

lovely poppy June 15th, 2010

I have been reading these comments for some time and feel concerned that so many have speed issues that may not be the fault of the ISP at all.
I have had a lot of experience setting up my home office, and lots of speed problems, which i have resolved. None by the way turned out to be ISP related.
Firstly I have Big Pond Cable, which is fast. But my intial router which I just replaced with a N standard Belkin was the first problem. It is direct wired to the server and gave at most 15000kpbs. The new one gave 30,000 right away, just old firmware and technology, so using a new router is the way to go, or do a firmware update on the old one.
Now then I have 5 notebooks on the router via wireless and this was the nightmare, I kept getting up and down results and the best was around 5000. Problem was twofold. 1. speed is dependant on signal strength which correlates to distance from router. Whan I moved into the same room wireless speed was same as direct attach. but some offices with only 1 or 2 bars of signal strength were back to 5000 or even less with the new router. If you have this problem buy an expensive router with multiple antenna etc. That fixes it. Just realise that distance in wireless will limit speed and that wireless is unlikely to give you top speed
Other problem was our telephone sytem. We use cordless DECT at 2.4MHz like everyone else, Dont do it, you must use 5.8Mhz phones. This change fixed all the weird results like drop outs re boots etc.
Now all is red hot and Telstra never got a mention, they were not the problem

Stirlo June 15th, 2010

I got 1689kbs on '3' wireless mobile in North Sydney, same as the island of Jersey. The mobile service seems curiously static, I understand it has been 'optomised' for my former home in Canberra, though use elsewhere was my stated reason for purchase.

crossuser June 18th, 2010

What's the point showing Global statistics here? The server is located in Australia! The fastest Australian broadband speed cannot reach 99,501kps if the server is located in US or UK. South Korean broadband should be 10 times faster than Australian broadband speed but because the server is located in Australia South Korean broadband speed is ranked 15th while Australian speed is ranked at 16th ha ha

ZKM128 June 26th, 2010

i am on telstra bigpond cable and getting good speed even though my connection is going from modem to a router than wireless to laptop i am average about 8000kbps. i know is a lot less than the 30 000kbps i think they advertise but its still reasonable. however i am thinking about changing to optus 129gb download plan for $49, this is lot cheaper then my current 25gb for $89.95 but am worried is optus speed really cable speed and will i get similar speed results. can anyone help

smiggle2003 June 27th, 2010

I'm with iprimus adsl 2. my pc tested 361 kps. that's like a staggering 6% speed of the average in Australia which seems to be lagging well behind most developed countries in the world. speed seems to be getting progressively worse. i sent off an email to my provider. interesting what comes back.location Blue Mountains NSW. thanks for the great site.
