Since I moved to NZ, Ive been with Telecom, and been happy. First it was GoLarge, then BigTime and now All You Can Eat.. Notice something? Yea, Im a heavy user (~120GB a month)
So to the SyncSpeeds:
So, I should get a faster download speed, and a slightly (~unoticable) slower upload speed. Looks pretty good.
A little Math to find out the theoretical MAX line speeds:
BigTime:
Download: 7616/8 = 952KB/s
Upload: 896/8 = 112KB/s
All You Can Eat:
Download: 8160/8 = 1020KB/s
Upload: 832/8 = 104KB/s
On BigTime, I found that my MAX achieable download speed was 832KB/s (Ironically near my Theoretical Down - Theoretical Up), and I would get this downloading things from Akamai Distributed sites (Apple, for one), even to sites accross the globe (VideoCopilot.Net)
I would be limited at 200KB/s on anydownload from popular P2P websites. Hotfile for one. (Although the youtube.com referer 'fixed' this, and I would get my max speed. Peak and Off-Peak)
Torrents were crap on BigTime. Never. Ever. Faster than 100KB/s for me (Maybe up to 200 when off-peak..)
On All You Can Eat, My Max achievable download speed is 900KB/s. Apple, YouTube etc all go this speed when accelerated via IDM.
Torrents: All I can say is WOW. Never seen a torrent go 850KB/s within 20 seconds of adding it and staying consistant, especially at this time of the day (2pm).
Hotfile: Hmmmmmmm, Wether its HotFiles fault, or SlingShots. I dont know. I get 400KB/s- 420KB/s and a single connection when accelerated? I can download multiple at the same time, and it will max out at full speed (Both downloads going 420KB/s) After being treated with FS Down on Hotfile, this is a little dissapointing. However I have been having problems with Hotfile downloads being slow on BigTime since about a week ago. (Maxing out at 100, and sharing this bandwith between seperate downloads). So I think the blame is on Hotfile.com.
Onto some SpeedTests!
As you can see. I get much better pings, and around .5MBs - 1MB faster. However, my Upload speeds are slightly slower on some occasions.
"Yes, thats all fine and dandy, but what about international speeds?" some might say.
On BigTime, Yesterday. To the UK I would not get faster than 2MB down and pings in the area of 250-400. Same time today;
To The US:
So, What do you think?
Im happy.
