1192205 2011-04-07 11:45:00 Well you *could* go 3G, but that's not really a high-speed option, so yeah I vote wait personally ;) Chilling_Silence (9)
1192206 2011-04-08 09:58:00 Which speed tester is telling you that you are only getting 1.5Mb/s ?? decibel (11645)
1192207 2011-04-08 11:45:00 About 4 different ones including Telecom, Consumer and www.speedtest.net ecurb (3669)
1192208 2011-04-09 06:12:00 Are you running through a 10Mbit Switch or Ethernet card, or one that is in 10Mbit mode for some reason?

That would limit your otherwise 5Mbit connection to about 1.5Mbit....

why would a 10Mbit lan, limit a connection to 1.5Mbit??


Wouldn't it be lower, around 1.2?

why would a 10Mbit lan, limit a connection to 1.2Mbit?

Thanks for picking up on that and bringing it up!

Now how the hell did I manage to make that stuff-up...?

1192211 2011-04-10 22:07:00 No real change. Varied in last 10 minutes from 0.7 to 1.5 MBPS ecurb (3669)
1192212 2011-04-11 07:17:00 I am connected to the Tuakau Exchange (due for replacement November) and it is somewhat like the Titanic, as ports fail there is less and less "deck space", and like the deck chairs everyone gets shuffled around as the slowest, or failed ports generate complaints.
