Proving a point

[poddster]

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

In my area pre NBN, we had ADSL only (not ADSL2). With the basic NBN plan (no added speed packs) the broadband we have  available now is 10 times faster than the previous ADSL service. Also we get a lot more GB per month for less cost.. Nothing to cry over here.

Freaki, I have proved my point, that being, the internet is only as fast as the slowest link.

Regardless of what speed your service, even if it is 100 Trigga-Mega-Bigga bytes per microsecond and there is a link in the chain from source to destination that is just 1 bit per hour your top data transfer rate will be 1 bit per hour.

My other point is the global average data transmission speed is around 15Mbps so that is the average speed you cam expect.

And by the way by far the most content originates outside Australia.

Jimmy the internet data transfer rate determins ho fast you get your data content.

Actually the internet speed will be as fast as the slowest link in the route accessed, not the slowest internet link.

The point you are trying to make means nothing as link speed is increasing every day.

It doesn't matter that most content originates outside of Australia.  Much content is mirrored on servers within Australia.  Plenty of content people access regularly is within Australia.

You have allowed your opinion of Labor to cloud your judgement of the NBN.

Perhaps you might like to read what i have written and digest it.

Not so.

Do you really believe that 'much content' is duplicated on other servers globally, There is a certain amount but not as 'much' as you would like people to believe.

You point is valueless and proves absolutely nothing.

We all know our speed is only as fast as our the fastest link. Link speeds are increasing all the time.

More content is being mirrored and stored in Aus all the time.

You are more than welcome to stay in the back waters if you wish but please stop insisting that you know what everybody else needs now and in the next few years.

The OS speed tests I posted leave yours looking fairly modest.

I note that in the tests you posted there was no comparison to local servers, nor was there and time, date, service speed or any other supporting information

We all know our speed is only as fast as our the fastest link. Link speeds are increasing all the time.

But are you aware that.

Speed is only as fast as the slowest link. Big difference.

So I made a mistake. Big deal. I meant slowest link not fastest but you knew that.

I'm fairly sure the tests are date stamped.

Thanks for the answers Freaky and Pods.

Now....could you guys pick up the pace?!....you're slowing me down. 🙂

My test was on a 25/5 NBN fibre connection via wifi.

Note, it's faster than 85% of Australia.

Please ... could you type a little slower ..... Some of us are on satellite ....
