Hi Damo, have you read my posts about how bus technologies work? It might answer some of the questions / issues you report. Also I thought Arise plans are shaped when you reach a threshold, something that almost every other ISP have for their Internet plans, ADSL, cable or otherwise.
Writin in this forum on an iPhone is so hard!!!
Hi Archerion...
Yes I have read it... I understand exactly what you say.... I get Shaped at 40Gb.... And as you probably know from some comments here we all pay two arms and one leg for that privilege.... I have a tendancy to attempt to use my allowance each month for that simple reason..... If I didn't feel ripped off I wouldn't care and would probably download far less each month! Arise quote 10Mb/10Mb speeds for that package to, and hmmm wait a sec, I'll do a test now.... Speed results right now are Ping 646ms... WTF... and 5636kb/s d/l and 2895kb/s u/l.... I have performed similar tests in the middle of the day and got similar results, however the Ping is usually around 28ms.... This test was to a canberra server, Let me try adelaide (Best results usually) Ping 38ms 5920kb/s D/L and 1932kb/s U/l.
Dont really know if you wanted that info, Just thought it might interest you..
Around the 27th of the month is when speeds drop dromatically to around 80 ~ 120kb/s (May Be kB/s, just cant find the result.... It was pretty average though... No Better than ADSL 1...)
