    Ping 9
    Download 234 Mbps
    Upload 11.8 Mbps
    This is pretty much basic here.

    "speedtest.net" is not accurate. try "testmy.net" or "speedof.me".

    Well I hope your wrong;). Just did these tests.

    testmynet down - 51 up - 5
    speedofme down - 36 up - 16
    speedtest.net down - 693 up - 188

    I am paying for 930 up/down, this is on a 10 year old desktop, I consistently get around 700 up and 200 down on speedtest which I figure is good enough for this old rig.

    Fascinating to see what speeds were back in 2009 and 2010.
    Back then, I may have had 5 Mb/s down, 0.5 Mb/s up ADSL, or it was 'upgraded' to 8 Mb/s down, 0.8 Mb/s up.
    2011-2020, I had 30 Mb/s down, 3 Mb/s up, VDSL.
    Nowadays, I have 75 Mb/s down, 10 Mb/s up, cable.
    (https://speed.measurementlab.net/. https://testmy.net/ has similar results.)
    Much higher speeds are available, maximum available speed is 1 Gb/s down, 1 Gb/s up, cable or fibre.

    speedof.me have no servers in canada. they have servers in 3 different locations in aus (where @Krusty is located).
    both speedof.me and testmy.net give me accurate results from servers in north america.

    Nothing to write home about. Plan on getting an upgraded internet hopefully in the near future.

    My ISP brought fiber into the neighborhood a few years ago, which increased my up/down speeds, tested several times, at least 5 fold. However, I've noticed essentially zero difference in day-day general browsing. I suppose if I was a gamer I might have noticed a speed boost.

    It seems odd that my upload speed is higher than download speed o_O

    These speeds are on wireless, btw. I know they were faster on wired, I just can't remember what they were.

    i stand corrected. speedtest.net used to be flash-based and i thought that was still the case. turns out they're html5-based now, like speedof.me and testmy.net. :thumb:

    This is what I got.

    My download speed is sometimes a few Mbps faster. However, while I would love to have faster internet, that is the fastest I can get.

    Roger, you're not on NBN yet then?

    roger_m Registered Member

    Yes, I have been on NBN for some time. But when I switched to a faster plan, my speed stayed the same.

    Hi to all.:)
    To have a term of comparison between the various countries would it be possible to know the costs per month of your internet connections?
