thats crazy O_o

*spooged*
god i needed that! Also my mate is from Amsterdam and he doesn't know internet ever being like that! :laugh2:

....... then again he doesn't remember much from Amsterdam  8)

Isn't fibre optic supposed to give speeds like that?

So, who wants to move :)

I'm going there for work in November/January around then.

I've had similar DL speeds, the most I can remember is 124.4 MB/s and the wierdest thing of all was I was in Bendigo (a country town in Victoria). hmm, how about next meet we go to Amsterdam :P legalised pot will screw everyone over :P

Somehow I think it lied to you... I doubt Bendigo has gigabit internet.

It was on the Telstra next G network.

Sure it wasn't 124.4KB/s?

absolutely, saw the speed and was like :o

o, and btw it was ballarat (another country victorian town), not bendigo

Ballarat is teh cool :P

and teh boring :P lol its an ok place.

Vietnam has better internet than NZ :(

You can bug ie6 to show stupid DL speeds

Karnage no where in Oz for under $5000/month has that speed buddy.

Fastest internet for users comes in at 10mb/s download 100mb speed

Sorry your computer is lying

Plus Next G is 7.2MB/s which equates to 600kb/s downloads in the best of areas

Sure you weren't copying something from over the local network?
Because 125MB/s just happens to be 1 gigabit/second - same as gigabit ethernet. In reality though due to protocol overheads etc you are very rarely going to get a transfer rate that high.

And yeah you're not going to get gigabit internet speeds in Bendigo or Ballarat or any place like that.

Unless you mean 124 megabits per second rather than megabytes, which is still pretty damn unlikely outside of a CBD - that's 15 megabytes a second.


Were you downloading a large file? I suspect that what might have happened is that whatever you were downloading was getting cached by a proxy, and when it finished downloading it sent the entire file in one big go to the browser, which then reported that it got all this data in one second. The browser would have sat there saying its downloading super slow at like 1% than all of a sudden the whole file is complete.

That's bassicaly how it worked in ie6 I used to do it for fun

start a large dl -click on the link for I to say save open etc
leave it for an hour then click save and watch that thing go at some stupid speed
