| 267792 | 2004-09-01 04:46:00 | I have Win XP.I changed address with my Jetstream Xtra Surf 256kbps & have dropped connection speed from 4Mbps to 1.8Mbps due to increased distance from xchange.I did a speed test & found I got 257kbps & when I downloaded a program it averaged 35kbps-I think about right. My question is-are these figures about right & what does connection speed have to do with it all Thankyou rdee |

| 267793 | 2004-09-01 04:53:00 | Connection speed is irrelevant coz it's just what the device is theoretically capable of, and in some cases is only showing you a speed within your system. Distance from your exchange has a huge impact on your real speed. You should do a test on the jetsreamgames site, and if below 2Mb/s you could get Telecom to check it out www.jetstreamgames.co.nz/speed |

| 267796 | 2004-09-01 04:55:00 | [double edit] 35KB/s is a good speed for Surf - you won't get better, unless there's a rare surge in the service | Greg S (201) | ||
| 267797 | 2004-09-01 04:56:00 | 'Your line speed is approximately 275.5 Kbps or 33.8 K bytes/sec'...........hows that for a 256k connection ! | drcspy (146) | ||

That's likely where the figures were obtained. |
