I just ran this
Internet speed test on my wireless laptop at home with a good connection. Our home ISP ADSL plan has a download cap of 512k and and upload cap of 128k. It is probably worth again this again at another date and time.
Test Time: Fri Sep 30 2005 09:03:35 GMT+1000 (AUS Eastern Standard Time)
Download Stats Connection is 396 Kbps about 0.4 Mbps (tested with 386 kB)
Download Speed is 48 kB/s
Bottom Line: 7X faster than 56K 1MB download in 21.33 sec
And here are some more results but this time on my home desktop computer using the
Oz broadband speed test.
Test Time: Fri Sep 30 2005 09:03:35 GMT+1000 (AUS Eastern Standard Time)
ADSL Test run on 30/9/2005 @ 8:19 P.M.with Netspace Mirror
Your connection speed is 406 kbps, 50.75 KB/s, 0.396484375 Mbps
Certainly worth using and supporting the the latter testing tool.
