Sign up with GoogleWell its D-Day for the "Improved", "Reset", "International Experts" whatnot crew to have done their job.
Local is lekker as they say but international is slightly dodgy, ever so slightly with the sites I have to look at not even loading.
I have compiled a small list of intenrational speed tests which show what you getting after I was getting sick of being told that my connection was fine, more than fine one day and then suddenly didnt work AT ALL my email downloads takes 4 hours on average and that my site uploads take 15 plus hours.
I could handle that is was slow and that it would improve but being told nothing or what was deemed good for me to hear made me want to know what I was getting for my buck.
Here is my list of what I am getting for my buck, A small list of International speed test sites which tell you what you get in bandwidth compared to other connections say a 33.6 modem (what I am getting at the moment), in throughput, etc.
Enjoy.
