We have seen a lot of them but anth is new and I assume he hasn't seen them all so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. ;-)

Fair way from the exchange.

You don't want to know my results.
If you look down a page or two you can find the 8Mbps trial test results. More than enough to sink your teeth into.

You can find a database of Whilrpool's collected results and see them in graphical form. I've seen no evidence that the overall results have changed much in the last year, although individual results have gone up or down a bit.

Sometimes it gets overloaded at peak times.

Using aaNets speed test generally gives a better estimate of speed to your local aanet pop.

That's a pretty good speed...

Not going to use the speed test as been there done that, but going by real world performance whilst I've had the 8000/OP3 service my average is 670 KB/s. When DL'ing big files I'll use a DL manager and it will max it out to 800+ KB/sec.

I've just moved up to 1500 from 512. On 512 I was getting 430kbps.

Are these good results for 1500, I'm quite close to the exchange:

1316kbps down / 74kbps up from www.speedtest.net

From OzSpeedtest using their default mirror at 600kb test I get:

I guess if I chose above 600kb I'd get more accurate result. I'm pretty happy with those results, considering when I first power cycled the modem and did this test I only got 800kb, I think it must have taken a few minutes to adjust perhaps?

What is the best you could hope for on 1500, considering the overhead?

I think 164kB/s is the highest I have seen from a reliable source.

Carioca, are they the best speeds you get on 8000?

Would it be better, if they are the fastest, to just downgrade to 1500, since you can only get 1500 speeds anyway, and save some money?

Too right! That's what I suggested to aanet support - unless they have ways to 'tweak' their monopolist wholesale supplier :-)

The thing is that Telstra have just enabled their tiny 'exchange' at Pacific Palms for ADSL2, as long as you use BigPond! So I thought perhaps they'd perhaps stopped throttling data rates for ADSL1 competitors...

Sometimes I'm tempted to throw the towel and get rid of landline and ADSL until Telstra's brought to heel - and instead just use an N82 for basic net access (e-mail and so on).

Done some testing and it seems VISTA is responsible for the crap speeds.. Now chucking VISTA and loading XP back onto my hard drive...

With help from fellow WP members, I have fixed my Vista issue.

New speed results are,

aaNet Speed Test

Your current bandwidth reading is:

5.17 Mbps

very good, Vista is a good O/S * is getting better by users hard-ware compatible habits,

please be aware the EFTel/aaNet services are supplied by a Transparent Proxy

the question remains :>

is that speed test results from the testing server to your modem/router ?

or is that speed test results from the:>
ISP intercepting Cache's (transparent proxy) to your modem/router ?

worth a good think about,

Not really. Anyone who understands how these speed tests works will know that the payload cannot be cached.
