581598 2007-08-16 09:54:00 I have been checking my broadband download speeds.
The download manager tells me I am achieving 24 kbps

the speedtest site says I am getting 1901 download and 117 upload
and further tests are around these figures.

Is this slow or am I expecting too much?

regards,

581603 2007-08-16 11:41:00 I'm on Telstra cable in Chch. 4Mbps down/2Mbps up. Real happy with it and a hell of a lot more consistent than any ADSL service I've ever had. It doesn't slow down at 5pm either. I don't know what their contention ratio is - but it seems a whole lot more favourable to their customers than Telescums... Deane F (8204)
