Firstly, I'd like to wish you all a happy new year. I know it's too late but I know you'll forgive my lateness, especially that I haven't wrote a line on this site since last year.
Yesterday, we got our new broadband connection (ADSL2+ Annex M) provisioned at the office and I wanted to see how fast it is.
Well, it was darn fast. The theoretical limit is 24Mbps upload and 2Mbps download. In reality the tests showed a 6.6 Mbps upload and 850 Kbps download speeds. I am not too sure if that's due to the limits of the server with which I was testing or the actual pipe.
If you want to test your connection speed and compare with others, I suggest you have a look at .
Speedtest has a nice GUI and links to lots of servers in most regions of Earth.
I tested with the Melbourne server, the closest to me. Make sure you pick one close, geographically, to your base connection.
