[hobo33]

Decent I guess.

Yeah, you're not the only ones who have it bad. I'm in Serbia and I get 4Mbps on a good day. (And I'm paying ~30€ per month for this)

It'll be alright in a few years when they finish work on the NBN, providing they don't can it by then. At the moment though Australia does have third world internet speeds. Of course it all depends on what plan you're on, but in some places the faster plans aren't an option. Even then the faster plans have a ridiculously small download cap and still cost an arm and a leg.

SingTel's Internet coverage in Singapore is f**king shit.

Always behind the others and also more expensive.

I'm using SingTel. Can't wait for the contract to end.

4mb+ download speed in Australia is fairly common. Australia is not a third world country - Australia is pretty rich. Cable/ADSL2+ internet is relatively cheap here too.

Don't know what rock you've been living under.

i clearly said more then 4mb...give me an example of household with 4mb+ download speed...

Tpg had its work done on adsl2+ and still the best they have is 4mb($80)....its just poop without fibre...and to top it static IP

[naved.islam14]

I guess I'm the loser her with just (Read my sig please) speeds

 

[LocoRoco]

Spoiler

http://www.tpg.com.au/products_services/ad...icing/adsl2plus

my plan last one on the list ADSL2+ Premium 250GB

forgot to add upload is 700kb

 

[8BitWalugi]

Funny. I get 7mb/s on a good day.

whos your isp?

Bigpond.

200GB cap.

 

[Ringo619]

atleast you get that ,i pay for 1 mbs internet speed and i hardy get that speed, i get like 25 kbs through out the whole day except at night like 10 pm and only torrent downloads gives me 1 mbs

 

[LocoRoco]

Lets hope nbn really delivers(2015-2020)...they said 96%(or 93%) of australia should have at least more then 5MB download

100mbps internetz so 10-15mb for the very lucky ones which should improve over time

 

[Saken]

Wow you guys fail.
Speed tests measure in bits not bytes.
So if you're getting 2Mbps on the speed test or 4Mbps it's actually 2 megaBITS per second and 4 megaBITS per second.
In bytes, it's 250kiloBYTES per second and 500kiloBYTES per second, respecitvely.

And if your ISP says they promise you 30Mbps speed, they mean 30 megabits per second which is usually a lie anyway, and use that to sell ignorant customers.
My friend went with Optus who promised 30Mbps, and he was getting around 500KBps max.

Note:
KBps - KiloBytes per second
Mbps - Megabits per second

In conclusion, ISPs are very clever.
