How Internet speeds compare in Australia
I am on a slowish connection, compared to what is available these days, being on the older ADSL, and I took a speed test at www.speedtest.net during May 2009.
My results were low, compared to the rest of Queensland, and are shown here:
The World average is shown as 4.95Mb/s
Australia is 4.69Mb/s and
Queensland is 4.21Mb/s
