Re: Cool Broadband Speed Test
Howcome upload is so much faster than download in Aus? Is that a stupid question? Cos here download is always significantly faster than upload.

Re: Cool Broadband Speed Test
It is supposed to work the same way here as well - not sure why uploads are so quick
What is impressive is ping times.

Re: Cool Broadband Speed Test
Currently our upload speed is buggered(can't get more than 3Mbps up), and to test the download limit was removed on Mweb's side. Fun having a wireless link into the company network.

Re: Cool Broadband Speed Test
Hi all,
Moved to Germany a couple of months back - hence my silence over the last few weeks.
Here is my result. This is the cheapest slowest internet available (currently living on a shoestring). It costs €19.90 per month (+-R200 pm) - uncapped/unshaped/free telephone calls within Germany.
The speed is a huge jump from what I am used to in SA but I think what is more amazing for me is to play WoW and GT5 at 12ms latencies. The difference is massive, in particular with GT5.
Also analogue phones are no longer in existence over here, all phones are VOIP.

Re: Cool Broadband Speed Test
My home connection, after I upgraded my side a bit, still need to the other side of the link. It is slowly approaching the speeds in Australia/Europe.

Re: Cool Broadband Speed Test
Aus is 20Mb up 8Mb down for most home users.
You're well ahead of the pack

Re: Cool Broadband Speed Test
On direct wireless links you can get those kind of speeds, but nothing a home user can afford. I have a pretty free hand on our network, and can do about anything if it doesn't harm the users. A high speed wireless link to my home is one of the fun perks....

Re: Cool Broadband Speed Test
Looking back SA is in a better broadband boat than it was 7 years ago. Sure it still feels like the titanic but it is better.
7 years ago I started playing WoW over an isdn 64k connection. My wow latency for US was 800-900ms.
2 years later I switched to an EU realm. Still on isdn 64k. My latency went down to 500-700ms. Raiding had to be done on 128k.
3 months after that I got 512k wimax. Latency was a joke. I played with lag around 900-1300ms.
Local CoD4 games played at a comfortable 110ms but you could notice your shots werent hitting things.
Got 4mb lined ADSL about 2 years ago. WoW was still around 800ms on unshaped accounts but it was a mess during the seacom transition.
Finally last year near december latency for most of my games dropped to 200-300ms on international side and locally I was playing CoD Black Ops at 30-60ms on local servers.
It is a shame that we are now sitting at what UK was 6 years ago but atleast we are catching up slowly.

Re: Cool Broadband Speed Test
It is frustrating to see the slow progress, but still nice to see that there is some progress at least. Hopefully it will only improve with leaps and bounds.StarBound wrote: It is a shame that we are now sitting at what UK was 6 years ago but atleast we are catching up slowly.
Got a 4 Meg uncapped line. ( MWEB) and I msut say my pings in games are usually lower than the other players.
Re: Cool Broadband Speed Test
You guys think that is fast, a friend of mine who moved from Sydney to Seoul did a speed test at the beginning of the year and the ISP is only ranked 3 stars

Re: Cool Broadband Speed Test
Fiber is king, and it is feasible if you live in a high population density area. Sadly South Africa is not that densely populated, so fiber to home is not that big of an option. What I mean to say is there is no way we can use Korea or Japan in the same sentence as South Africa.
High speed wireless links are far to expensive for any home user, and then the spectrum is still limited. eg a 100MBps full duplex wireless link is around R70K now.

Re: Cool Broadband Speed Test
Australia has already started work on it's National Broadband Network (NBN) which promises fibre-to-the-home and 100MB connections to every Australian home and is already being piloted in towns and cities across Aus.

Re: Cool Broadband Speed Test
Moved our breakout to Teraco Isando earlier tonight. Still need to do some tweaking it seems. I should get 40mbps. Latency is good though.

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.
