How has your speed been like?

I've noticed that when 128k got "fixed" my speeds (im on 512k) was of 128k... now it looks like a constant 256k...

any feedback on this?

Hell, my gran on a scooter with a memory stick is faster than Sentech's MyWireless!

Nope 256 sucked and has sucked for a long time now, getting close to 128k people's speeds is not what I am paying for.

My smoothwall graphs show an average of 15.6K for the last day with a max of 25K. The graph has been on 20K consistently (my downloads stopped for 4 hours so average dropped)

This is on kazaa and BitTorrent, and i did some http downloads at the same time. Things do seem to be looking up

update: downloading at between 10 and 12KB/s.

I'm sure last time I checked I was on a 256k connection?

*shrug*

I'm with nonroker. Been sitting on 4KB/s intl forever.
Local would sometimes spike to 20KB, but seems to be about 12KB on average.
