Hi folks

There are many members that wonder how their ADSL performs in comparison with other ADSL users. This is of particular interest when one would like to compare packages.

If you have some spare time please do the Telkom speed test and give your package & speed. Speed test URL: http://www.telkom.co.za/minisites/dsl/speed.html

Thanks and regards,

RPM

264 Kbps or 32.4 kBytes/sec

Installed ADSL about 1 month ago. Anxious to see whether I'll remain at these speeds, or if telkom is going to cap me a 192kbps.

I wish! I've never seen 42.5 kBytes/sec since I've been on 384. I average 35-38 max.
