They must use Gold plated connections through the exchanges etc there :-)
Also, I hope you have done the timing thing of a known file size, you will
be surprised at the small difference, I did also say most, which means if
you phone line is noiseless, and its not a long run from the exchange, you
could do better..... but I never look at reported line speed, only test
speed by using known file sizes, dialing through same exch, with same line
hopefully :-)
The way they are pushed, you would expect 8kbps roughly, and you wont get
it, thats ISDN domain.....
BTW I am interested in what software you see the reported 5-7kbps, I also
should have mentioned that the 4kbps is an average for 33.6, it may peak
quite a bit higher sometimes, but in any case, we are counting fleas right
? we should force telstra to supply both countries with much faster, more
reliable ways to connect to the Internet.....I am tempted to say the word
"thieves" , but I won't.
