What site do you guys use for international speedtests?
I tried bandwidthplace but that doesn't even complete, it's so slow.

Nvm, I'm blind.

Try
http://www.auditmypc.com/internet-speed-test.asp

It's scary how accurate this is.Be sure all you are running is this test , so close as many internet 'happy' apps you have and start the test.Let us know the results. another good one is albatronica *but you'll have to google that , sorry*...just google 'speed tests'
 
Sentech Heldekruin tower JHB, unknown signal strength should be high, connected to 18dBi antenna , running via Wireless Router. 128 MW.
Download 34.64kbps
Upload 33.92kbps
Left in kbps as this is a more recognised measurement by South Africans.
Signal strength is of little consiquence as local sites are fast thus indicating Sentechs link into the World is questionable/the bottleneck. Furthemore pinging the Sentech DNS servers have good response times.

Your download speed : 227 kbps or 28.4 KB/sec.
Your upload speed : 15 kbps or 1.9 KB/sec.
 
Lets maintain a post that reflects our speed tests. This will give MW users a good idea of how everyone is comparing against the rest in terms of speed.
This could also work to the advantage of Sentech to find problem areas. I think we should also leave out any sarcastic comments to make it a viable thread for everyone.

MW 128 Tower 60 - nb2 - sig=22% - snl=11 (woodmead) 7:20pm

International Speed Test
17.04 Kbps
(2.13 KBps)

Local Speed Test
Local is fast so didnt bother

myWireless 128, 64, 48, 16 - depends on its mood.

Cool you can do one think if you have any problem to your internet speed you can check your self from here. ip-details.com It's give a best result to your internet speed.
 
Huh, I have tried the Vodacom data card in my wifi network and the download speed is not to bad. Almost as fast as cellC's at 7Mbps. However the upload sucks big time at only 0.4Mbit. CellC in comparison, gives me around 7Mbit down and 2.2Mbit up. Ok, my 3G modem has a maximum speed of 7Mbit/s which means the download speed could be even faster.
How do I add a pic in here?
