Unless of course you meant kbit/s, in which case you're getting 39KBps. Note that Telecom rate-limits full-speed ADSL to 3.5Mbit/s at the RAN. This means that even if you have perfect line conditions and get the 8Mbit/s connection from the DSLAM in the local exchange, you still won't get the 1MBps expected, only around 440KBps. I don't see this documented anywhere in Telecom's Jetstream sales material. -- Juha |

| 169374 | 2003-08-30 02:41:00 | ADSL 128k is assymetric right? Does this mean you can be uploading at 15KB/s and be downloading at 15KB/s at the same time ? or is it more like 8/KB/s download and 7KB/s upload at the same time? |

| 169375 | 2003-08-30 04:11:00 | good question Powa.. i was wondering the same thing. but on my adsl monitor thing it has these figues upload 56 Kbs download 2720 Kbs this is before i even connect.. so i guess it means it isnt assymetric? |

| 169376 | 2003-08-30 04:12:00 | actually make that upstream 576 Kbs downstream 2720 Kbs cheers |

| 169377 | 2003-08-30 17:09:00 | Ah well there's obviously some variations in the service... my latest result indicates that my speed's what it should be: Your line speed is approximately 139.8 Kbps or 17.1 K bytes/sec |

No, Jetstart is 128Kbps up and downstream, which gives a 16Kbyte/s theoretical maximum. Telecom has put a bit of leeway into Jetstart, so you'll see 144Kbps bursts at times. -- Juha |

| 169379 | 2003-09-04 12:05:00 | That will be your connection speed to the DSLAM,not your download speed.It's like dialup,you connect at,say 46000bps,but your download is only 4KBs. Peter |

When I was on full speed I frequently exceeded 440 - in fact it wasn't too rare for me to get up around 6Mb/s for downloads |
