674192 2008-05-31 04:46:00 Just a quick question....

If my DSL modem shows a connection speed of 7616Kbps (bits per second) and a DSL line speed test (NZ DSL speed test) shows a speed of 2100kbps and the GO broadband plan is full speed(?) then should I be getting faster speed test results??:confused:

Depends on what time of the day you do the test ;)
My modem always shows a connection of around 7000 but only ever get anywhere near that speed early in the morning and sometimes during the day but never in the evenings.

674196 2008-05-31 23:56:00 Well I am paying 256k and getting 256k ;) So I am getting what I paid for.

Before, I paid for up to 7.6 but only got 1.8. So I downgraded.
