Here are some NBN speed results conducted within 30 seconds of each other on the same connection and PC
As you can see by the bar graph, what I have always stated and continue to state is that regardless of the speed of your NBN connection the overall data transfer speed will only be as slow as the slowest link in the data transmission chain.
The test was undertaken on an NBN fixed wireless connection with an upper limit of 25Mbps.
Tokyo rates high on the speed chart and all the destinations were major cities.
The global average is around 15 Mbps
All you vocal NBN speed freaks read it and weep

Jimmy here is a bit more detailed explanation to your question, at your speed you could download a 4 mega byte aprox.
file, or picture in one second.
in 2 seconds you could get a 44 page manual including pictures in PDF format.
You could watch 5 separate DVDs at full resolution and listen to 4 separate audio CDS at the same time.

Alternatively you could have 38,000 skype voice conversations at the same time, do you think you could manage that 🙂

Thanks for the info! I remember people talking about waiting for things to load a long time ago, so looks like I stepped in at a good time. I click and it's there!
And adds appearing on the pages...That would frustrate me!

I am of little faith .....
By 2015, Hockey & The Rabbitt will have sold the NBN to Telstra to pay down the $1/2 trillion deficit & we'll still be stuffed ...

I don't, but will after I move. I'm going to set up a nice audio system and link my computer to a 50 inch flat screen.
I don't really need to get stuff of the net though. I get about 1,000 channels, of which I only use about 100, with about 50 on a favourites button. So there is always something good on.
Just finnished dinner and am watching Swamp People on the History channel. I usually watch the history channel or science channel. BBC for morning news.
I'm gonna live in a swamp! 🙂
