That's crazy fast... surely they must be having a dedicated link to wherever they are doing the speed test?!

just work in Aristocrat in the future if u want insane internet speeds. u'll get 8gb/s or 1gB/s dl speed. i'm not bsing because my dad used to work there
I'd be surprised if any large company which had super fast internet (myself included) which didn't limit/ban use of company internet to download large amounts of personal data, let alone copyright infringement (or other questionable content) which is what most people would presumably use it for. Most employment contracts also note that the employer reserves the right to keep records of your usage and if found to be in violation of company policy, dismiss you for doing so.

I'm surprised there aren't more uni students here getting crazy results off-peak at campus.


These speedtests are a tad old but I was at the UTS labs last week and pulled around 100mbit

Thought I'd try clicking on it at work...



Surprisingly good speeds especially after work hours :)
I realised this drops down to 22.53Mb/s and 23.35Mb/s with a 25ms ping during office hours lol. Peak is still 86.3Mb/s from November 09.
