    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.

    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.

    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?
