ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!
!!!!that is some awsome fibre! how much do you pay for that?
aahh lucky you! are you on the $75 unlimited TPG plans? im waiting for telstra to allow other companies into my exchangeADSL2+ TPG - Sydney, Australia
If only my home broadband was as fast as my work line..
haha thats very impressive! my work only has 10mbit or so
Don't know why I haven't tested the connected at uni yet...but here it is, my upload at home on adsl2 is faster.

I retested it again over wireless on my MBP and it got a much lower DL, but about 10Mb upload.
yea mine was wireless, in the library with +200 people there.
im sure if i came in in the night time it would have been much higher, we have 2xgigabit fibre connections to UQ up on brisbane
UQ serves as one of the main hubs for QLD i believe. so yea pretty fast.
Hooray, it just ate my post.
The gist of it was that I only get about 3.5 Mb/s at home at the moment, but a cable upgrade in March should push that up to 20 or more. At the moment I get better speed from my cellphone than from my wired broadband!
Edit: I'm at home now, so here are my stats:

20! nice! will they still have data caps/pay as you go?
Pricing won't change; I'm currently paying AU$0.95 per GB (plus $71 monthly, which gives me a landline, broadband, and free local calling). I'm actually really close to switching to a different ISP that only charges $56/month with 75 GB data included, then $1.20/GB overage.
Edit: Also, here's a speed test from work: (not from today, but I can do a newer one next time I'm there; should be faster now because we've had a cable upgrade).

aahh tempting. would you download more then the 75GB on average? bit hard when the prices are different like that.. i wonder how much you can download on the "new" ISP until you are at a loss.
