| 592734 | 2007-09-19 10:11:00 | lol. also i was wondering, if my upload speed is faster than my download, wat effects does that cause because it oftenly occurs for me | liger636 (12658) | ||
| 592735 | 2007-09-19 10:23:00 | Generally on an ADSL line the downloading is faster than uploading. Fibre gives you the same speed both ways. | winmacguy (3367) | ||

| 592737 | 2007-09-19 11:17:00 | What you actually mean is the telephone exchange.In New Lynn it's just by the Titirangi lights,next to the kitchen shop.Are you very far from that?,also your download speeds should always be faster than your uploads,if they are'nt you probably have a problem somewhere. | Peter Coleman (597) | ||
| 592738 | 2007-09-19 11:34:00 | hm ok thx peter. does anyone know how different the speeds would be if i was 1km away or say 4km? | liger636 (12658) | ||
| 592739 | 2007-09-19 19:38:00 | does anyone know how different the speeds would be if i was 1km away or say 4km? Distance is only 1 factor. Generally if you are on the edge of the 5km limit it will affect you but on the other hand what equipment is in it matters too. I am 400m from mine but speed sucks. Because it still has the original old equipment in it and it can't handle it. |

| 592740 | 2007-09-20 09:34:00 | Your connection rates at under 1K should be somewhere near the max rate(7616K down,160K up),but at 4Km you could be down as low as 1-2K down,depending on a lot of factors.You could also just as easily be up around 3-4K down,so you can't always tell until it's connected.

I thought they were long gone!! PJ |
