Just curious to see what speeds people get from different locations.

So if you can, please go to this website:

http://adsl2exchanges.com.au/detailedsummarystart.php

Enter the details so you'll see how far your house is from the exchange




and this website, to calculate your download speeds. Use the 9MB test

Thanks

I was just looking at adsl2 plans.. Ive got optus cable atm just ran the test im getting 7.6mbits, Im scared that if i make the switch to adsl2 with say aapt or tpg that ill get less then that.

 

[rexest]

That site says that im 1726m away from the exchange, To risk to switch or not to.

first one doesnt work!!

For the second
Mirror: OptusNet
Data: 9 MB
Test Time: 8.35 secs

Your line speed is 9.06 Mbps (9057 kbps).
Your download speed is 1.11 MB/s (1132 KB/s).

Im in the exact same situation.

Thats why I started this thread


Cable is meant to be faster, but optus and telstra are the only companies that have it and they're not really allowing the max speed.

and they're deals are way too expensive, and the data isnt even that much

AAPT have an unlimited offpeak with their adsl2+
and TPG have awesome deals as well, very good value for money.

But ADSL speeds depends on how far you are from your exchange

Is that line of sight or cable length?

Either way, that isnt that bad

[Game Breaker]

FYI, If you go over the 20g peak. Both Peak and off peak get shaped


As for ADSL2 speeds. Depends on distance and how densely populated (heavily used) an exchange is.

Yeah, But cable speeds is even more dependent on how many people use it.


Ive seen it, as soon at it reaches off peak time, it slows down

You won't get 9 Meg down load speed mate I can assure you. I am with TPG ADSL 2 and because it has become so cheap so many people have got on it. I use to get 1.5 Meg down load speed, now I am lucky to get 0.5 Meg down load speed.

How far away are you from your exchange?

how far away are you from your exchange?


http://adsl2exchanges.com.au/detailedsummarystart.php

2.11 km

I've never had any experiences with cable internet

2.11 km

That is considered to be pretty far tbh.

The exchange has nothing to do with TPG. All carries go through the same exchange(s) I believe.

PS. I am further away from my exchange. Right on the cusp of 2

also I like using this as a guide

http://www.tpg.com.au/products_services/adsl2plus_pricing.php

enter you ph no in, click on "Check now"

Then select "TPG SOUL's DSLAM Map"

and it will give you a detailed map with all the info of possible/expected speeds.

Here is the one for my exchange...

I am in the f'king green!!!!!

That is very close, your line speed can reach close to 20MB
