Yep, I jumped on it pretty quick.
If you use a corporate network, it's quite likely that the network will restrict that kind of traffic, and the speed test doesn't allow for others using the network at the time! I'm sitting on the end of a multi-gigabit fibre link with carrier grade hardware feeding gigabit straight to my desk, but the data used by speed test will tell you I can't get more than about 30 Mb/s to it despite it being barely used this time of day! The other problem is that the speed test app is limited a little by your own browser. Browsers don't necessarily keep up with the throughput :P
Provided your 'voice' still works at an acceptable level than that's all that matters to Telstra - they have no additional obligations to you.My adsl is worse than your morning speedI got my connection checked and the telstra guy came and checked the pit out the front of my house. I was chatting to him when he opened it and it was flooded! Apparently this isn't a problem :rolleyes
Well, Telstra these days do have to provide 1.5Mbps on a short enough line.. if the line has a dial tone. Beyond that, they don't care too much. Unless you're a BigPong customer in which case they might. Maybe.Provided your 'voice' still works at an acceptable level than that's all that matters to Telstra - they have no additional obligations to you.
And this is the major problem with the Liberals broadband plan - they are going to use this copper to deliver their plan so that everytime it rains your service will degrade. Not much of an improvement if you ask me
