Whats your ping like tho?

I said sub 50ms

Hey guys if I upload my torrented linux isos from my work connection to an FTP you provide then download it from there to my home connection is that counted towards my quota?

Probably easier to just invest in a portable HDD.

Haha pretty good response

I use a 4G Wifi Modem (BigPond).

And I live basically right on the very very edge of 4g coverage. It switches to DC 3/4 of the time and I am able to ping 58-65 pretty steadily 95% of the time. To sydney qlive servers.

I am having to restart the device a lot of the time to get it to drop back down to 60. Alot of the time i get 75-90 pings, and even 100 asif it was single channel 3g shite again. but with less packet loss.

With adsl 50 meters up the road with bigpond/iinet I was pinging 49-60 anyway with adsl.

Now I am getting 58-70 pretty steadily If I reconnect etc.

As for dl speeds, I'll do one right now;

I have gotten 12MBPS down where I am. But have also tested in Hobart CBD and got 52mbps. Worse thing is, it's bascially a heavily beefed up 1800mhz 3G frequency. so its like 3.5g.

1800mhz doesnt travel far which is why the coverage isn't that good. (lower the mhz the further the signal travels).

I pay $59.95 a month for 8gb then capped to 56kbps. (8kb a sec) 49 upfront for the modem. but it has allowed me to play quake again :D

With regards to ping more specifically does it fluctuate or is it pretty solid or are you just looking at the latency from speedtest?

Teq, at a guess I would think towers spreading Tesltra all over the city would smash heaps more energy then cable would.

The answer to your question is a pretty obvious no, for pretty obvious reasons!
