I am sure there is another OLD thread on this topic, but am interested in the here & now...

 

Could you all do a report like this along with speed test result from this site http://www.speedtest.net/ It is certainly of interest to me & am sure you would all be curious to.

 

I Live in the northern suburbs of Adelaide (Craigmore - Playford Rise) a reasonably new sub division..6-7 year old house, so I cant get ADSL2 (thanks Telstra!) & opted for a ADSL1 8000k connection with Adam Internet.

 

I am mostly happy until recently when I get ping spikes in PR of up to 600+... Normally I play at between 24 - 60odd ping.

 

I did a speed test this morning..

Internode ADSL1 8000k. A long way from the exchange, attenuation some of the highest I have ever seen in a Whirlpool thread (that's not a good thing).

 

Tested from my laptop, with the router downstairs and with a 'poor' or 'low' connection on wireless.

Sorry, ping is 61-63 on BigD. That's just distance related. I used to ping 11 on the old 3FL QLD DC server.

Changed to Node ADSL2+ earlier in the week. Best ISP evah! Great service and stuff.

So, you are using Optus equipment Base? How far from exchange?

iPrimus serious 5

512/128 ADSL

Adequate connection tbh. I can play any game on this without a hitch. BF2/PR ping is usually 30-45ms.

Location: Rowville, Melbourne.

I can't get ADSL2, so I am stuck with this until they stretch the cable a bit further.

you can use this website: http://www.adsl2exchanges.com.au/detailedsummarystart.php

 

 

to get a very rough estimate of distance from exchange (you might notice that cables generally don't go 'as the crow flies')

In 2 and a half months I'll have my 30 down 10 up guarenteed, uncontended Fibre To The Home.

 

Awwwwwww yeah.

 

Edit: Uncontended not due to the technology being implemented, but because of the volume the carrier has decided to deploy with.

is this transact?

is this transact?

 

Yep.

1500/512 from Telstra, 25GB a month, best plan ever, never slow apart from when family is using it.

 

Best plan ever had.

Pity we really can't download that fast. But it does the job.

This is with Telstra "High Speed Cable" which is inconsistent as hell, drops out without warning, rhyme or reason and the largest plan they have is 25GB basically I am a very sad 24 month contracted panda.

You forgot to mention that with Telstra it is a combined 25gig... (upload & D/load) Criminal... I got out of the grip of those crooks...

Instead of posting the picture, can you give some details of what you are posting. What speed plan, ADSL1 or 2, distance from exchange etc.

I'm happy so long as my family aren't hogging the bandwidth!

I have had it to 13MB/s - 0.9MB/s.

 

ADSL2+, iiNet. Most reliable ISP I have ever experienced. My connection has not dropped out once in about 2 months. Before that my modem would just reconnect so its possible it did but with this new modem it doesn't reconnect without me pulling out a cable from the back. So 2 - 3 months without dropping out EVER !

 

Best part of iiNet, more free content than you can poke a stick at. More than any other ISP.

 

I have a 15/30GB quota so 45 GB's and I use it all. Some months I can download 60 - 70 GB's without going over my cap by using freezone data.

Speaking from an NZ view (theres a few of us here I'm sure ) I get these pings with Telstra Clear:

 

Within NZ:

To Aussie:

I am on a 4mb down, 2mb up connection. Pings are normally very consistent. However, I play CoD4 as a clan and the scrim servers are on a range of IPs that Telstra Clear cannot seem to get right. For the past 4 months I have played at 200-220 ping on them (making it seem impossible to shoot anyone). I woulda expected them to fix it in this time so when I asked them whats going on, I get told the only fix is to change ISP

 

GG Telstra Clear.

To the Adelaide server:

http://www.speedtest.net/result/479602207.png

 

I mostly play with a ping of about 40-50, so must be a few less jumps than the speed test server?

 

And to the Perth server:

http://www.speedtest.net/result/479603422.png

 

ISP is Telstra, just on a pretty average plan, the cost is thier downside.

Liberty 25gb per month through Hellstra but they are reliable.

Which should be 1500 download so its not that bad.
