Please give your ADSL speed (local)

Yep, seems like there's definitely something going down at the Telkom HQ.

My 384 connection has also picked up speed over the past few days.

Speed: 471.3 Kbps or 57.8 kBytes/sec

Last week:

Speed: 346.8 Kbps or 42.5 kBytes/sec

Thats quite a jump up.

Would be nice if it carried on like that.
 
Try now boys seems telkom, has finally soft capped my line. i used to get in yhe upper regions of 400k or jus over 500k now flat rate every time of between 380-390k. All i can say was it was fun while it lasted.
 
Your line speed is approximately 450.2 Kbps or 55.2 kBytes/sec

I'm on 192... and I can see my little router light blinking to say it is downloading...

Nice ;-)

If you read up you'll see that many people are recieving speeds similar to the packages one level up, or in some cases two levels up! :P
 
CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?

Your line speed is approximately 517 Kbps or 63.4 kBytes/sec

I am on 192
 
Guys, just one thing that picked up at home. Make sure that your not accessing a cached copy of the page when you run the bandwidth test. I have a caching proxy on my network through which I connect to the internet and my line speed is significantly faster when I download through the proxy. The page must be cached on my proxy. Might get the same thing with your browser cache. But still faster than it should be after disabling the proxy and clearing my browser cache. :)
 
nope, its not cached on mine. I'm getting 32k+ on P2P downloads on my 192k line. I dont know what the hell is going on but I hope it carries on :D
 
I think I should have expressed myself more clearly. What I mean is, that without the proxy I get speeds round about 270 kb/s when I do the speed test. But with the proxy, about 600 kb/s. You see, the proxy was enabled the first that I did the test and now that 500 kB file is cached.

Edit: HomeDSL 192
