As you can see I am trying to build up a substantial database of speeds at different days and time of day. It will be great if you can post your speeds as well. If you have nothing to do, simple test your speed and post it. It will be great to compare ADSL and Sentech speeds…

I was wondering if you or someone else was doing this. How about making a web form of some sort where people can submit their results - should make it easier to capture the data. Capturing the time of day would be interesting too.

Location of the user possibly plays an important part. For example DSL at home is much faster than at the office. Now this may be due in part to the time of the day or due to a lower contention in the suburb I live in. A month after I got DSL there were only two users on the exchange DSLAM and the exchange is about 350m from where I live. At the office the nearest exchange is several k's away.

Speed test gave 22.7 kbits/sec and this was at 11:15am.

Although it is not 512, I can live with this speed. But come 9 am, it is back to thirty :(

But - this is not what I'm used to this time of the day. Usually Google starts time timing out on me this time of the day.
