Ok i have had broadband for over a month now and compared to dialup it is a s**t load quicker. After reading the "internet speed" thread and reading some of the results you guy's on broadband were getting and then doing it my self and only getting this:

Your connection speed:

kbps: 192.4
KB/s: 24.05
Mbps: 0.187890625

im a little p****d!

is there something wrong with my connection or is this normal with others?

Cheers Kermey!!!

*and i wasn't download/loading anything off the net when the test was conducted!

**Bigpond is my provider!

Broadband is just like your car, money depicts how fast you will go.

Telstra is a Rip off.
