Also getting weird speeds today (again)

Last Result:

Below is the data used to calculate your download speed:

* Download time: 20.922 seconds
* Size of file: 500 KiloBytes
* Estimated line speed: 195 (kilobits/second)
* Estimated line speed: 23.9 (kiloBytes/second)

These are more like 3G speeds, I suspect someone loaded software on the network again last night and now we all have to suffer. Funny thing is, thi smorning, speeds were rocking? Maybe there's a problem with base station serving the area at present?

is that upload using GPRS or what?

um..er..HSDPA actually...ahem...*clears throat*
No seriously, HSDPA. I have this wild insane theory but this is a family forum.

Where do you do the upload tests?

Sorry, I mean where do you do the HSDPA card upload test?

I use:

http://www.telkom.co.za/minisites/dsl/speed.html

It would be interesting however if there was a way of checking actual line speed onto Vodacoms network, because when the speed goes down you can't be sure if it is Telkuk or Vodacoms fault.

Thanks for the info - I did not no that this site existed (should have read the entire thread first before breaking my way into the conversation . I did a tracert on this address and I see that it is in fact inside vodacoms network, unlike the rest of there site which sits on SAIX so it should be a pretty reliable way of testing actual line speeds.
