@Ken, I thought if you can get an ADSL connection, you can get service from any provider, regardless of how remote you are?

Well, yeah I could, but my business phone / home phone & mobile is
with Telstra, & because all services are with them I get a good deal on
my land line plans & mobile..
Iv'e only been on adsl for nearly a year at that, it wasn't available up until
this time last year..
When ive been with them for a year i'll try to screw a better deal out of em.

Is that a joke

Kbps = Kilobits per second
KB/s = Kilobits per second

These two are different ways of writing the same things...

No it wasnt a joke, and your comment is wrong.

Kbps = KiloBITS per second
KB/s = KiloBYTES per second

Which is the reason I tell people to get it right since they are two different things. 200Kbps is roughly 20KB/s and vice versa. People meaning 200KB/s often put 200Kbps and that is incorrect.

divide kilobits by 8 to get kilobytes

dslreports.com speed test result on 2006-09-06 03:07:52 EST:
13028 / 354
Your download speed : 13028 kbps or 1628.5 KB/sec.
That is 135.8% better than an average user on comcast.net

Your upload speed : 354 kbps or 44.2 KB/sec.
That is 24.5% worse than an average user on comcast.net

$62.00 per month with digital cable, so it's about $31.00 per month.

i have a line amplifier installed, which explains the fat-ass speeds. i've had 250+ clients connected on bittorent and still able to browse the internet.

did a second test, got this:

seems like the servers in europe are not connected to the US very well, and west coast servers seem to be throttling thier connections, possibly because of traffic from asia.
