Re: tool for internet connection test

Hi Adrian,

Thanks for info.

I had a _very_ similar case to you elevated to Level 2 support twice.
they said that they were clueless as to what was causing the problem
until I said I would go elsewhere.

Do I have another choice. I mean if lines belong to telstra it sounds
logical that anywhere I got I might have the same problem?!?

Download test from TPG:

Hi Andrew,

I'm on ADSL2. I had constant speed for years and it was always around
6 - 8 Mbps. Suddenly it dropped to 0.3 - 4 Mbps but on average I have
0.9. As you also mentioned I too believe that the weather is to be
blamed.

My Telstra land line had such a nose that I could not make a phone
call. Telstra technician came and said that there is nothing wrong
with it and they charged me $105 incorrect call out fees :-) TPG ( my
current internet provider ) confirmed weak signal but when the
technician came he allegedly did not find any problem. Of course he
did not find anything wrong he was on my premises for 10 minutes and
at that time everything was fine.

You can use these maps to cross check what sync speed you should be
getting compated to other people in your area.

In my case I'm on the Business Unlimited plan at work. It is speed
limited to 1M/1M between 7pm and 7am and unlimited in speed (dependant
on line sync) and download quantity the rest of the time. I had a
Billion 7404VNOX that I think was causing some problems. I swaped that
out to a Netgear DGN2000 for the purposes of testing.

Im my case I was downloading faster during the speed limited times
than during the day. Downloading Tpg's speed test iso
(http://www.tpg.com.au/test3.iso) Also on the weekend I could download
at the maximum rate.

Best of luck in dealing with TPG's support, I had to hold their hand
through the process, they kept on expecting me to 'reboot the router -
hey look it's fixed' when it failed. I humbly suggested that was
unreasonable.
