What I would like to ask is .... why aren't we comparing ping/speeds from UK, USA etc .... surely we do more "surfing / gaming" on overseas sites ???

1134737 2010-10-29 20:19:00 After seeing everyones results decided to carry out the test myself and having done so I wonder about the validity of the pingtest,net results. I first did the speed test to see if Telstra was delivering the advertised speed increase. No problems here as I got a speed of 15.24Mb/s down 2.14Mb/s up
Then proceeded to do a series of ping tests through pingtest.net which consistently gave results of 88% packet loss and a variable ping time of 30-40 m/s The large 88% packet loss did not seem consistent with my real life web browsing experience. However as suggested I rang the Telstra help desk and to my surprise within 2 minutes I was speaking to a live person. With the help desk's assistance I ran a series of speed and ping tests independent of speed /pingtest.net A completely different picture emerged My speed actually increased to 16.2Mb/s down and 2.5Mb/s up with zero packet loss and a ping time of 3m/s.
