0.2 Speed Tests
Results from speed tests can vary widely due to all sorts of issues. Therefore, it is wise to select and perform a variety of speed tests available here that are close to your physical location to ensure that you are getting consistent results. If you have an Apple device which is unable to run Java or Flash-based speed tests, visit »www.speedtest.net
 got feedback?by MacGyver A good rule of thumb is that approximately 80-85% of the DSL sync rate equals the usable line rate. HSE (ADSL platform) (A 4megs service advertised as a 5Megs service) customers with a sync rate of 5056/800 can expect speed test results of about 4200/680. DSL Performance (ADSL Platform) (a 5Megs service advertised as 7Megs service due to Equipment limitation(non ADSL2) customers with a sync rate of 6016/800 can expect speed test results of about 5000/680. DSL Performance (ADSL2 Platform) (a 6Megs service advertised as a 7Megs service) with a sync rate of 7296/1088 can expect a speed test results of 5800/700-800. DSL Max (ADSL2 Platform) (A 15Megs service advertised as a 16Megs service) with a sync rate 16320/1088 can expect a speed test results of 14000/700-800.

I've included a theoretical results graph for name of service, speed in KB/sec & kilobits/megabits per second.

got feedback?310-SURF send you to http://service.sympatico.ca/index.cfm?method=categories.view&category_id=654 - they subsequently ask to download the Alcatel USB Modem driver executable and measure your "transfer rate" based on the time to download, I find this unreliable. 2009-03-16 09:35:03 (siljaline This information is ancient. Bell now offers MAX services. I am PAYING for MAX 16 - they also have MAX 12. My highest speed to date has been 10 and that was like once in two months of testing. So I am getting SERIOUSLY ripped-off considering my AVERAGE speed is 3 Mbps - while, again - paying for 16 Mbps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2009-12-20 21:00:34 My down load speed my be fast according to bell but its not much faster then my old dial up speed ??? what a rip off. 2012-01-02 11:50:55 by MacGyver | |||||||||
