Obviously something wrong, unless you have something better than DSL connections you wouldn't get more than 24Mbps, limited by your line...

As JohnR said before, it's probably because the file used by Speedtest is cached locally on your computer. In other words, those results are not possible with the existing technology deployed to consumers.

These results seem to pop up more and more of late, wonder if the speedtest script has a bug, either miss reporting or no bypassing the local cache

Unless if you are one of those "Special" people with 100mbit Cable from Telstra you will not experience this sort of speed on residential ADSL / VDSL

It's just the cache in his browser, move along, nothing to see here. I would be interested to find out what browser the OP is using though, since this does indeed seem to be happening more and more. If the OP could try a different browser (Google Chrome or Firefox)?

Otherwise, since this has so far happened on Slingshot, Vodafone & Telecom I would say that it could have something to do with their transparent proxies. If the proxy is loading the speedtest before your browser it would cause these types of results, since the proxy can not "Upload" on your behalf that's why the upload speeds all sit about the same. I can not recreate these speedtests on Vodafone using either Google Chrome or Firefox.

I even did the test in IE6, since this should be the browser that would normally bug out and cause something absurd to happen like this, but no go.
