Just for interest here in OZ I find that I'm getting 765 down and 90 up from a 1500/256 connection.....through IINET

Are you talking Bits or Bytes? A 1.5M Bit connection is 187K Bytes and 256k Bit connection is 32k Bytes.
From
Broadband Report's Speedtest
and
Bandwidth Connection's Speed Test
I fairly consistently tested at those figures above - which I believe are kbits/sec. Now IINET claims to be selling us 1.5MBit/sec down, 256KBit/sec up.
Richard are you telling me that I'm getting what I pay for?
I know. The explanation will be just like the one where you're told by the ISP that your dial-up can never possibly achieve the 56K that your modem is cited as. It's probably the difference between factuality and reality eh?
I suspect that I'm a mug for paying for the broader bandwidth. I should pay a third of what I'm paying and possibly would then enjoy not much less than what I'm getting now (right?)
