446281 2006-04-14 19:03:00 My connection speed is now 338 kilobytes sec. according to the test on Ihugs page.
Last week I was connecting at about 160 with a DSE USB modem.
When I installed a Billion ethernet modem I jumped to about 220.
This morning I am on 338.
Looks like I am now upgraded to their lates connection.
Is 338 what I should get on a 3.5 gig plan.

Another test:

Download time: 2.172 seconds
Size of file: 1000 Kilobytes
Estimated line speed: 3756.9 (kilobits/second)
Estimated line speed: 460.4 (kilobytes/second)


Their figures confuse me.

446282 2006-04-14 20:50:00 That's looking good, but looking at the Ihug speed test, they are only using 512kB file size for measuring speed. That is too low really to get a reasonably representative figure, a few megabytes would be better. Terry Porritt (14)
446283 2006-04-14 22:37:00 Those tests are unreliable. I'm on a 2mb plan and tested my speed on 2 differant NZ sites, one site gave me a reading of 800kbps and another about 1900kbps. Go figure.

They more than confuse me too.

Now my connection ikon says my speed is 400.0 Mbps
