Here's mine.....and I'm actually on an ADSL2 plan costing $Aus70.00/month [$US54.25], and I'm located 1750 kilometres [1100 miles] from the Server. Plan is actually for 1500kb/s DL and 256kb/s UL, so given distance etc., these aren't too bad I suppose, but like everyone else, I'd love to have it faster.

Only gripe that I have.....Why the heck can't the measurement of Internet speed be standardised to use only one scale? At the moment [speaking in a general sense], there are four different scales of measurement in use;

  • kilobits..........kb/s
  • kilobytes.......kB/s
  • megabits.......Mb/s
  • megabytes....MB/s
Then errors creep in when your regular Joe Bloggs types up a report with examples such as Kbps, KBps, mb/s, mbps and MBPS.......go figure! It becomes a guessing game. Land speed etc. is standardised to m.p.h. or km/h, so why not internet speed?

To the uninitiated, this just adds an additional source of confusion when dealing with or discussing the subject of Internet speed.....one that I'm sure is taken advantage of by salesmen marketing Internet plans and sales. I often wonder how many people end up with an Internet connection, that is way less than the specification that they thought they had signed up for.

The first one is a connection to a US site (from Germany). The second one is a connection to a German site. The interesting part is that the upload to a US site is faster than to a German site whilst the download is just the opposite.
