NBN tests

[poddster]

Just to cut through some of the misconceptions surrounding the NBN.

NBN test results using http://speedtest.net tests carried out in real time one after the otherwith the same equipment

Additional test of copper network transferinr 6.7 Gb in inder 1 minute at a rate of 968 Mb/ps

Just to dispel some of the emotive comments made by commentors who have no knowledge or qualifications of the technicalities involved.

Hi Poddster,

I for one am glad you have decided to re participate on here. I know your leaving was  voluntary  even though an Innocent post asking where you were was taken down, we can only wonder about that one can't we?

I do not feel the need to re post your other post to bait and gloat and I do not feel the need for a nasty snipe,  so as you can see, nothing much has changed on here.

As for the NBN figures you posted, thanks for your very welcome research, we are all the more knowledgeable with this and also  monmans research he so painstakingly does and posts on here even if it dispels some of the more outrageous claims made.

I'll be expecting you to mix the drinks tomorrow night in celebration

I agree with Lightning 100% (for once lol)

I dont know you very well at all Poddster and I probably disagree with some of your views but I think posters like you enrich forums like this so it's good to see you back and posting again.  And so you had some issues a little while back and felt the need to have a break from posting here, woopty doo.  I'm sure if you are over it then others should be too 🙂  

Back on topic..... I"m a bit of a dumba$$ so if you could explain the table a little further for me that would be great , mainly the Distance in Kilometres section ie Melb says 600 (so it's 600 kms from where? the exchange or?)

ACCC to watch NBN reseller speed claims

....
It comes after NBN Co proposed in a discussion paper circulated to the telecommunications industry in April that it would keep the broadband product tiers previously available on the fibre-to-the-home NBN, even as it moves to roll out technologies that are not theoretically capable of the same speeds.

The company said it would not guarantee it can deliver speeds to homes of beyond 25 megabits per second, about the theoretical maximum speed of existing copper ADSL broadband services. Homes and businesses that purchase a 50 Mbps or 100 Mbps broadband plan from a retailer like Telstra or iiNet would receive speeds of up to those maximums, but there was no guarantee they would reach those speeds depending on the quality of the copper line connecting that home.

“Selecting the correct speed tier will be the responsibility of the end user and the provider,” NBN Co said in the paper. “For example, NBN Co does not intend to prevent end users and/or providers from ordering the up to 100 Mbps speed tier for a service that would typically experience speeds of less than 50 Mbps.”

Speaking of misconceptions surrounding the NBN.

Adjudication 1515: Jamie Benaud/The Daily Telegraph (December 2011)
The Press Council has considered a complaint that three separate articles in June and July 2011 about aspects of the National Broadband Network (NBN) were inaccurate. The complaint was that the first article understated the number of NBN customers taking up offers, the second misstated the costs of not taking up current NBN offers, and the third made misleading comparisons of the costs of connections.
The Council upheld all three complaints on the basis they were inaccurate and, in two instances also misleading and unfair, and that the errors were not corrected promptly when brought to the newspaper's attention

I am not going to wade through plethora of red herrings nor will I waste time on the verbal clap-trap that some seem to relish in, instead I will make several irrefutable statements that anyone who is interested can verify for themselves.

1. The internet as described by Julia Gillard in the lead up to the election will not be attained until every country and household have identical systems.
2. Internet data transfer rate is limited to the transfer rate of the slowest link between source and destination.
3. Propagation speed in optic fibre and copper are the same, in some cases copper exceeds that of optic fibre.
4. Consistent average data transfer rate of 100Mb/ps has not been achieved by any country in the world, yet this was promised to the Australian voters.

I will leave the swallowing of the abundant red herrings to the uninformed gullible masses who constantly regurgitate whatever is fed to them with relish, likewise with the verbal clap-trap that they believe and reiterate without question.

For those who are more curious and wish to be better informed, there is a very simple way to evaluate and verify the speed of their connection.

http://speedtest.net

Just log on and test your throughput to any one of many test servers worldwide.

The averages on that site are compiled from billions of samples.

Downloading networx from http://www.softperfect.com/ will enable you to test the transfer speed of your local area network.

Here are is an example of the data transfer rate to on shore servers and off shore servers
