I get 3 megs down and 784 up.

I pay $29.99 a month from Surewest.

I did not know routers can suport that high of a speed HG.

Wow...think of all the pizza he can download!

It is the router, which, unfortunately, is something that Comcast doesn't provide, otherwise we would have bought a new one a long time ago. Our router is something like 8ish years old But today our new router is supposed to come (thank you Amazon black friday deals!) After that gets all set up, I'll run the test again and see what the speeds are like.

Mine and Jafo's are up... we're through Telstra.

It's not good, is it... particularly through Telstra, supposedly our biggest telco/ISP, and Optus is not a lot better.  There are better/faster providers, and these are much smaller companies (like iiNet, APT aaNet, etc) who offer more competitive prices on much better internet/phone packages.

No loyalty rewards, either.  New customers are getting similar or better deals for up to half price, while long-term customers are told they must see out their existing higher priced contracts.  When my contract is up if Feb 20io, Telstra can go and get stuffed.,. I'll be going with iiNet.... more than quadruple the speed/download at less than half the price of my current package with Telstra.

hey bro...check out Optus fusion + ...its better then west net and telstrra and like i said unlimited internet and u can choose the option u want... and yu get unlimited fone calls to any land line nad mobile in aus... i checked out everyone and they were the best from what i could see (not avail in all areas).

I wouldn't touch Optus with a pole... never again.  Had a direct debit arrangement with them and over a 12 month period they took 4 monthly payments twice... took me over a year to 18 months (after my contract was up) to recover my own money, and only then because my local MP intervened.

Nah, I think I'll go with iiNet... a 8 or 12mb/s connection @ 80gb  per month with phone for 49.95.  I'd be pushing to download that much per month (tho 3 - 4 of us might give it a nudge) and no direct debit... I'll never trust that again.

Okay, since it is no longer Monday, maybe folks want to post what they experience as their actually speeds for download and upload and how about reliability of the connection.  Speed is nice but if you are always experiencing problems with the connection it doesn't matter. 

Is this the worst here?

Ha ha!

Wow, I'm really getting my money's worth for that 10Mbps connection! This is the same ISP that recently tried to triple my rates by instituting tiny (20GB) bandwidth caps with big overage charges while lying to everyone about how much money they would save once all the "bandwidth hogs" on the more expensive Turbo tier started to "pay their fair share." Now they won't upgrade to DOCSIS 3.0 because we wouldn't let them rip us off.

I would switch to another provider, but there aren't any.

One good thing about this test, it's indicated I have a problem...

I'm in a rural area, so I've never had more than 1Mb. Some online tests I've done tells me one of my neighbours gets a 2Mb service, and a line test with BT tells me I should get up to 4Mb...!

Goodbye Sky. If they can't sort this, I'm gone.
