800026	2009-08-10 23:43:00	So the last couple of weeks Telecom have been upgrading the exchange just around the corner from where I live. Today, the new hardware went live.. And these are some of the speeds I am getting. I am 300 metres from the exchange: www.speedtest.net www.speedtest.net This is the slowest www.speedtest.net Before the upgrade, I had no better than 3.0Mb/s. My noise margin used to be a very poor 52dB now its just 10.9dB About time. :banana	b1naryb0y (3)

If I try any speed test its always slower - yet when Telstra have had to come and replace their modem,( very Rarely) they do a speed test to their own "home log in" its always at least double the speed ( often More) - which is a direct tunnel, no other places to go through. Example: If I do a speed test Via that site I get around 3Mb/Sec - the actual plan I have is Up to 10 Mbps / 2 Mbps - (Downstream/Upstream) directly it reaches the 9 -10 / 2.	wainuitech (129)
800028	2009-08-11 01:03:00	Can those speeds be real? What sort of plan are you on, as that is faster than the theoretical maximum for ADSL2+? Isn't it?	rumpty (2863)
800029	2009-08-11 01:18:00	I've seen 60 and 70mbps from within the Uni, that's where the test is hosted I think. You just around the corner or something? What's the actual line speed showing as in your ADSL Router?	wratterus (105)
800030	2009-08-11 01:27:00	Can those speeds be real? What sort of plan are you on, as that is faster than the theoretical maximum for ADSL2+? Isn't it? From Telecoms Web Site: In theory, ADSL2+ offers maximum download speeds of up to 24Mbps and maximum upload speeds of up to 1.0Mbps. What happens in reality though is completely different.	wainuitech (129)
