A tad faster than before.... That is what mine used to be before they upgraded our local phone lines

Mine (just did it again) 3.45 down .46 up yet when I click on the little pc icon bottom right screen it says connected speed 100 Mbps
Whats up with that? School me now LOL

I find the speed varies depending which server you choose,
For example I am in Wellington and when I connect to a welly server it's super slow, if I connect to Auckland or Sydney its super fast any one else find the same

The speed on the little pc icon is for your local connection (how fast you're connected to the router, and any other computers that are plugged into the router as well).

The 3.45 is how fast your router is connecting to the internet

Right so I need a faster router then(actually just more often would be good )
How do I change router or is that not doable for a knob end?

Nah, it isn't the router at all. Routers run way faster than the internet can, even at max speed. It can only connect to the internet as fast as the ISP will let it though. It's your connection that is slow. It can be because of a combination of things. Your internet plan might be a slower one (most these days are full speed, but some of the old ones were limited to 256kbs), or it could be the connection from your house to the exchange (the physical phone line).

The best bet is to ring up your ISP (Telecom / Telstraclear etc - whoever provides your internet) and tell them that it's really slow). They can run diagnostic tests etc.

EDIT: My lingo is a bit off. It'll be an access point that you are using to connect to the net, not a router.

Cheers,is sopost to be full speed all the time. will look into it.

Just did speed test where we're staying in Toronto - 38Mb/s - and its only average net..

We get raped in NZ..

Its a shame the Leafs sucked ass again this season. You could have gone to a playoff game. I lived just down the road from Toronto for 14 yrs. Doing any fishing while your there?
If you get time there are a few small lakes around Parrie sound Nth of Toronto that is/was awesome for Black bass and muskie.

Missed the fishing for now - back into US tomorrow - hunting in Texas next week
Would like to have done some Salmon fishing but have missions on else where

I just did the TelstraClear online speed check for my line: 5.49Mbps down and 0.69Mbps up. I don't know what that means but it's slow enough that I cannot download anything video as it stops and starts every 5 seconds. An no, it's not HD porn! What is the standard broadband speed??

Takes me 1/2 a bloody hr to download a 3 min Utube vid, it's so bad I don't even bother trying anymore.
paying for broadband , get shit.

The speed is usable, the problem exists (and has done so for years) with Telstras domain name servers.
Use googles DNS and works alot better.

BEST thing anyone can do is get rid of Telstra..
