Also, what sort of latency compared to DSL? Any issues with Torrents? The may finally be the answer to me being stuck on a RIM (apart from moving house.....) |

Latency is around the 50ms mark (first outside hop) and no issues with torrents at all as the gateway supports both UPnP and port forwarding. And yeah most definitely would be a perfect solution to being on a RIM Go for it I say!

I was downloading a heap of training videos last night [I'm with Optus] and my download speeds ranged between 250 and 600kb per second - which I thoght was shit. So I was looking at the Vivid site and they were claiming around 7Mb / sec ??
So I did a little speed test with my current conection using www.speedtest.net and I got just over 9Mb/sec on the download. I don't get it?? Can the site your downloading from slow things down that much? What's everyone else's experience when actually downloading stuff - not just running tests? **edit** OK I just tried the speed test with other servers - like in the US and I was getting 0.50 dl and 0.27 upload. That corresponds with what I was getting last night. So you guys that have been getting 9Mb/s - where was that connected to?

One megabit per second (1Mbps or 1Mb/s) = 1,000,000 bits per second One megabyte per second (1MBps or 1Mb/s) = 8,000,000 bits per second For example, when a "1 Mbps" connection is advertised, it usually means that the maximum achievable download bandwidth is 1 megabit/s (million bits per second), which is actually 0.125 MB/s (megabytes per second)

What sort of connection do you have? Wouldn't be ADSL2+ if you are getting 50Mbps, or is this from work with an Amcom ethernet/fibre connection? Edit: OK I just noticed your ping time of 7ms so probably not xDSL, must be ethernet or something similar.

Speed Tests
What I've noticed is that a lot of connections tend to gradually increase in speed over a 30 second (or more) period and the majority of speed testing web sites only test download speeds for a few seconds which doesn't give you your true speed.
So how I test a connection is by downloading ftp://ftp.iinet.net.au/test100MB.dat - it's a centrally located server accessible across the WAIX network so 99% of ISP's will have direct access to it. So give it a try and post up your results at different times of the day. Obviously transfer rates will be in KB/sec or MB/sec so multiply by 8000000 to get your speed in bits per second. Edit: I just did a test then and got 1.2MB/sec which is 9.6Mb/sec whereas last night I got 1.99MB/sec which is 15.92Mb/sec

Shit I am only getting 450kb/sec
Maybe I need to find someone with a usb vivid modem and see what speeds they are getting at my house.

Kym is on Telstra Velocity aka Fiber so up to 100Mbps down and 100Mbps Up.
Butler has had Telsra fiber there for a while now and you can score massive speeds. |
