yep

Request a 1,000 Gbps and see what they say 🙂

Get it in writhing 🙂

They are not yet advertising 1Gbps. You have quoted data allowance and claimed Internode don't sell what they have advertised. 

You'd better delete or retract before someone takes action against you for publishing false accusations.

Do you have fast ibterned Donna?

It's not all about me you know!

Young people want fast, I want fast too because I work online.

I don't want to upload a million images on facebook to share but others might?

You sound a little like the politician that said we can't possibly have a phone in every household, what year was that?

Donna you misunderstand what I am saying. Wanting fast is not the issue. The issue is that having fast is not going to solve the speed limitations.

The internet is only as fast as the slowest link from source to destination.

That is what most people have difficulty in grasping.

Until all sources are fast we are locked in to the speed limitations of the particulat site or part of chain that is serving up our content.

In other words if the source that you are getting your content from or any part of the chain is, say 10 Mbps,l and you have 100 bps you will still get your contenty at the speed of the slowest link between you and the source.

As the fastest  country average is limited to around 25Mbps (and that is not the US by the way but Korea) any off shore content ( which is where the most part of content comes from) having faster than that data speed is useless.

Some time in the future the global speed will increase but on current trends that will take decades.

For those who are are under the misconception that an internet connection is direct from source to destination here is a plot of the rout taken from my test computer to a destinatipn it involved 13 hops.

your information is already out of date

You neglected to read the disclamer 🙂

Based on millions of recent test results from Speedtest.net, this index compares and ranks consumer download speeds around the globe. The value is the rolling mean throughput in Mbps over the past 30 days where the mean distance between the client and the server is less than 300 miles.

I was in fact generous with the global average 🙂

it is in fact

[*crikey*mate*]

whatever it is that we end up getting, I hope that someone remembers the basic principle of speed.

Red things go faster.....
