Is this good or bad? Am I getting what I pay for?
 
That is what you are paying for. However, that is also because you run to Telkom's site and international could also be a problem, so try one of the other speed tests on this web site
 
Here is a link to a Alternate Local test server. Nice graphs and test history
Simply registration required

When I tested initially Telkom gave predominantly better result? Any reason ??


Here is some results, 0Kbps probably is failed connection or download?
