You think that is lucky

I am on a 265kbps wireless connection with Uninet who peers with IS. I am constantly downloading at 60KB/s from news-europe.giganews.com

Someone messed up somewhere I guess.

I swear you guys work for telscum or something I get a measly 410kbps on 512 SAIX

 

[Freshy-ZN]

Where are you terra?

 

[JasonH]

Your line speed is approximately 467.1 Kbps or 57.2 kBytes/sec

:/ Maybe some wierd re-syncing going on @ your exchange

Cached speed test. Are you by any chance using Opera?

 

[Freshy-ZN]

Not a cached test

 

[Bona Botse]

maybe there's a glitch in telkom's test. why not try gamco's speed test and post the results here?

 

[Freshy-ZN]

Did the two with seconds of each other:
Telskum: 570kbps
Gamco: 460kbps

I didnt really think id suddenly been upgraded, was just pointing out the wierdness of the Telskum tests.

weird indeed. maybe they're so unindated with requests for higher speed upgrades that they made their site show u that ur at a higher speed than ur actually on, so that u dont call and ask for an upgrade

Now Telskum and Iburst speedtests within seconds of each other:
Telskum: 564kbps
Ibust: 379kbps

Who is telling the truth?

my results are the other way around. telkom claims 2.2mbps while iburst claims 4mbps. /me wonders whats going on?

 

[Freshy-ZN]

Oh well. No point in trying to figure it out...
