Download Speed.

betagame · 14-08-2008

I am wondering how fast do you want your download speed.

I want a fast download speed so that why I have high speed internet

DLGrif · 15-08-2008

it depends on what's being downloaded. If it's a flash movie or mp3, yes, I'd like it done within a minute or so. But if it's a long video, or an anime series, or a pirated game, I can certainly expect it to take up to two weeks to finish by torrenting.

Currently with an SNR of 9dB I can get a 15Mb sync, real world speed is about 12Mb/s.

With an SNR of 7 I can sometimes achieve about 19Mb/s, with real world speed being around 14-15Mb/s.

My downstream/upstream attenuation is 29.0dB and 13.5dB respectively with an average noise margin of 11.8/14.2dB respectively.

I am about 1.6km from the exchange. Basically, it's quick enough.

Ideally, I would like a faster connection, but with the government doing huge back flips on their election promise, it's highly unlikely that it will happen anytime soon.

It is a well known fact that technology wise, Australia is about 15 years behind the rest of the world, and broadband wise, we're about 10 years behind Europe. The proposed but unlikely-to-happen Fiber To The Node scheme is technology that is long outdated.

"World class broadband" my ass, Rudd.

Who wouldn't want something downloaded quickly...The question is a failure

Fire2box · 15-08-2008

The question should be what is your download/upload speeds. Mine is like 3.5 MB's download per second and upload is around 550 KB's per second.

Well if it's that, then there is already a thread for that...
