Back in the early 90's I spent 4 1/2 years as a Broadband Engineer with Comcast. I designed the Headends, and launched and managed their Broadband services in 4 Cities (I was a Regional Engineer). Back then, depending on active customers you werent getting much as far as download through the pipe and there were other limiting factors. I havent kept up with it much although I am still a member of the Society Of Telecommunication Engineers I went on as a Regional Manager for a Web Focused Corporation. So, as said, I havent kept up except to get what our Cable Company offers. So, I was wondering the same thing and was about to make a dumb statement of "Cant be real, I believe its photoshopped", but decided to do my research prior to posting a dumb statement.
All I can say is "WOW ARE YOU AUSSIES LUCKY!". His provider, Optus, offers packages up to 200 down. 120 MB down and 10 up for an extra $20 (Aus) per month. Never happen here, at least in the near future. Optus claims with their 120 package you can download an entire album in less than 5 seconds. I am sure you "Can", but thats also going to depend on what equipment you are using.
Just wow, wish we had that.

It's funny that I got 10MB faster speed switching from a docsis 2 cable modem to a docsis 3 modem. Needless to say I'm very happy that I can download a file at 4mb per second.
So John my modem is over 2 years old I got from my provider. I just agreed to a new 2 year agreement. Should I have asked for another modem? My current model is an actiontec MI424-WR (Rev E). I have no issues but I'm running 3 wireless devices off it.....

im not quite sure what I am paying for, might have been 10 or 20, but I am averaging somewhere between them, so all good. going to either 30 or 50 when I can.
Actually like this result. I know I am not paying for 30Mb
I'd trade 10Mb down on that for an extra 2Mb up if I could. I'm in 100Mbit but I still only get <2Mb upstream

The max upload is 3MB, and that is only on the 30 and 50 MB packages. Not really sure I need anything over 30, as its $30 more for the 50 service, and I doubt that I could get any better service from it. The package I am on now is giving no better download times than the 10MB package that mother has with century link, but I don't have wireless on this package. Not sure how hard it would be to get a router for it.
That too might depend on the server the download is coming from though, yes? The one I tested it on was the Ubuntu server when fetching 10.04 for my latitude. Was downloading at 5MB more or less.

Here's what I get at home. I will post up the speed at my apartment when I go for college. Which will be around August.
