i have 2560 down and 768 up.
But i only do about 1.9mbs down
DSL. here as well.

my fixed wireless connection only gives me 384kbs up/down.

DSL connection here is $$$ very expensive.

i have a 24 mbit connection here
but until i get a new modem i only get 8 mbit
which is: Upstream 768 Kbits
Downstream 7616 Kbits

so yea soon it should be 3 times as much

modem should be here within the week cant wait

upload speed doesnt really bother me its the 24mbit i cant wait for

Its a minimum of about 1mbit, any less than that and your line is too poor for them to possibly guarantee adsl service. You have essentially a 0% chance of getting 24mbit unless you live in the exchange, the highest an Australian currently has is 22.8mbit I *think*.

Its a max of 1mbit upstream, most people do get around that unless they are also only getting like 5mbit down.

Don't get your hopes up, most people don't get the speeds they wish for from adsl2+.

yea ok i didnt take that into consideration ok
but yea i get 7616 kbits downstream on 8mbit so theoretically times that by 3 when i get 24mbit and yea should have ~ 22848kbit which i aint gonna complain with
would you
40gig download a month no problems... except for hdd space that is

656,124 kbps

My wifi is 333.70kbps at myspeed.dsci-net.com.
I think i have the slowest connection

Actually, if you are getting 7616kbit from an ADSL1 modem then unless it is actually a modem issue you won't get vey much more than that with another modem. Most people I know of who got good adsl2+ speeds were getting at least 8000kbit sync with an adsl1 one.

Your upstream speed of 768kbit also suggests the same thing as ADSL1 modems are more than capable of 1mbit upstream.

ok tim,
it wouldnt actually suprise me if the modem was screwed, i have dropped it a billion times and a got it second hand of a mate who had it running for got knows how long straight, the thing heats up pretty fkn quickly now so yea.
its way beyond normal oper temp, i should have the adsl2+ modem end of the weeek, i wont hope for anything 2 special but ill post on connection speed once i get it all set up

i also did turn my plan down to 8mbit speed dont know if that has anything to do with it
but as i said, find out soon enough

something to cry on ,
in my country the best connection you can get is 1.5mbps downstream with 256kbps up.
and that's like two times of the averadge wage
what my connection is 512/128 and i have to share it with 4 other so we can afford it.
so dont let me read again compaining on your 3mbps+ connections

I can beat you with my crappy 56k that connects at 44kbps costs me 16$ a month too
Last time I cheacked I couldnt get DSL beacuse there wasnt a big enuff DSL hub in my area but now im a poor starving student with no money and cant afford to upgrade anyways hehe

And as for the rest of you who complain about your slow net... Stop your bitching!

all I'm gonna say is I'd rather be on dialup than have a bandwidth limit.

dileup is much worse than a cap'd connection beacuse your total bandwidth is sheard for ur upload and download's so unless ur just downloading with nothing else like MSN or IRC going then ur downstream gets clogged with needing to upload stuff
on top of that is the fact that you cant use the phone, if you have a shitty line u get really bad speeds and if ppl ring you when ur 50% done with a 400mb file from a non-resumeing server.... well to put it lightly is SUCKS

6 mbps - Business Class ADSL

When I had dialup I also had a bandwith limit :/

Besides, bandwith limits are much better, when I go over my 50gb or whatever I get away with they slow me to dialup. I get the best of both worlds

wuffie, nice to hear that I'm not the only one who has the slowest connection.. I've been using dial-up for like 7 years, just had 49.0kbps speed then finally decided to use wifi. But still it doesnt level from all your DSL speed.

Thanks to wifi, downloading wouldn't take 48years to get 'em done

Peace ya'll
