Australia's internet speed fell by nearly 2% overall - 2014 third quarter

 

Bloody hell! Am in the middle of Sydney and the net seems like it's just crawling along. No sign of the NBN around anytime soon, if that's even going to make much of a difference? The other day it was running near 15Mbps, so it seems to get very clogged with traffic very easily. Gotta love that copper eh?

Makes it hard to do things though. Sometimes YouTube won't even bother connecting FFS. The other day during high traffic I had no access to the blog at all for about 3 hours. Frustrating. Have learned to just switch the thing off and leave it until later.

I was interested to see how this dismal speed above compares to neighbouring countries. The answer is not good. In fact, Australia was one of only 3 countries in the Asia-Pacific region where overall internet speeds actually fell, falling by nearly 2% in doing so.

Good on ya Malcolm :s   You have presided as Communications Minister over Australia's internet speed actually going backwards. How's that for innovation then eh Mr Prime Minister? How exciting it is to be alive in this new age of technological innovation bla.....
