    Upload is supposed to be 300Mb/s as well so I have to find out what the bottleneck here is but overall I'm very happy with the speed. I used to have 80/80 but got the upgrade for about $5 more a month. Worth it for the heck of it.

    Internet speeds are such a joke in Australia - for a developed country is poor I should say.

    Try Germany. I'm on 20/1 which is about average, best I can find is 100/40 and that is only in select locations. Going to be visiting my parents soon, where it'll be three users sharing a 8/0.25 line for a week. That's gonna be fun.

    ed: just saw a 400/25 ad, but that's cable, so that is "up to" 400, which of course 99.9% of the time isn't. And no clue about the actual availability.

    Live in Brazil and my speed is 2mb/s

    Funny how the other ISP can go up to 15mb/s in the same adress, gonna cancell my current one as they always say that they can't offer higher speeds here.

    Is your internet ADSL?
    Hint: They say it's unavailable to avoid giving you a new modem. Buy your own modem or get one somehow and try the upgrade test again. For me this worked.
    * And I still think I can get more speed if I buy a better modem. The one I'm using was given to me by someone.

    ADSL, but I don't use their modem anymore, it's been something like 3-5 years that I've changed it, and even when I call they say that there is no higher speed available.
