| 855802 | 2010-02-06 19:42:00 | I did a test for my adsl speed yesterday and got around 10Mb/s. Tried it again on two other sites this morning and got similar speeds. I thought that on regular adsl connections the theoretical max was 8Mb/s, and usually around 6Mb/s. |

| 855803 | 2010-02-06 19:47:00 | I thought it depends on your line. I am with slingshot on regular ADSL and get different speeds with different routers. Dynalink and Drektek routers give me around 7mbps but I am using a Orcon router and getting around 18mbps. | ronyville (10611) | ||
| 855804 | 2010-02-06 20:22:00 | How you manage that? I thought the max theoretical speed was 7.8Mbit :confused: Are you on ADSL2? | Nomad (952) | ||

| 855806 | 2010-02-06 21:40:00 | The maximum for INTERLEAVED ADSL1 is 7616kb/s - I'm not sure about non-interleaved, but it's faster. | decibel (11645) | ||
| 855807 | 2010-02-06 21:44:00 | Yea you cant get 10Mb/s on ADSL1, wouldn't bother using speedtest. Just run a multi-source download, it will show you "real" performance not that single source near random number bollocks you get of speedtest. Mind due you could be on ADSL2 and don't know it? |

Where are we,with regards to ADSL2,is it down to the line? |

| 855809 | 2010-02-07 20:44:00 | If your line is in pretty good shape & local cabinet/exchange are upgraded to ADSL2+ your theoretical maximum becomes 24Mbps downstream and 3.5Mbps upstream. | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 855810 | 2010-02-07 22:21:00 | Don't believe a speedtest, just did one and got 10mbps down / 0.13 up / 163 ping on ADSL2, yet to watch a 2 min youtube video will take a lifetime to buffer, and everything else is slow as .... How much difference can a router make? Am still using the free gen 2 wireless one from telecom (dont actually use wireless and am with Xnet) but can no longer stand this crap speed. |

| 855811 | 2010-02-07 22:49:00 | You'll never get anything good from youtube. Even downloading an FLV from them the max I get is 90kb/s. Took me under 20 mins to download a linux ISO though. (3.7 or 3.9 gb). Which ain't bad at all. It's not just you who matters, it's also the source. I have found that a lot of the porn video sites are MUCH faster than youtube. Youtube just grew too big, too fast and they aren't doing enough to cope with the load. (As well as them having one of the worst video players right now.) |
