My school has 1000+ people buy mid day no more than 50/50, after school 80/50, pretty bad for a school with over 200 networked computers.

Laptop: Thinkpad W520 i7 2720QM 24GB RAM 1920x1080 2x SSDs Main Rig: 4790k 12GB Hyperx Beast Zotac 980ti AMP! Fractal Define S (window) RM850 Noctua NH-D15 EVGA Z97 FTW with 3 1080P 144hz monitors from Asus Secondary: i5 6600K, R9 390 STRIX, 16GB DDR4, Acer Predator 144Hz 1440P

It tells you in the bottom left that the ISP is Telstra. Telstra is good but super expensive. Being a school they pay like hundreds of $$ to get access to speeds like that. My guess is that they are on NBN which gives them that low ping. But being a consumers you wont be able to buy those speeds.

LOL totally missed that. Thanks man. I might have to look into their plans..

 

The only problem is, my house doesn't have ADSL2+ availability. We don't have the cabling. At the moment we use a dish on the roof and receive internet from our ISP over a very strong wireless network.. But the consistency could be a lot better, and we need more speed. Such difficulty.

Schools get custom plans which arent on the ISP's website. ADSL2+ runs though telephone so if you have a working telephone you should be able to get it. I dare say the school will have optical fibre. If you cant get ADSL2+ then there is no chance to get anything close to this.

If you check again, the server being tested to is hosted by Telstra, the schools ISP is Vertical Telecoms.

So we ran a speed test at school, and this is what we got:

And Australia's internet is known for being crap...

AND WHY THE HECK IS THE UPLOAD FASTER THAN THE DOWNLOAD??

School Internet and Residential Internet are a farcry away from being comparable...

 

There is a section near me,... (rollout map is purple for NBN being completed, green for ADSL2+)

Only the school boundary is purple, in the backstreets not near any other infrastructure is all green with ADSL2+ connections, just has Fibre/Nbn pumped to the school and nowhere else...

This is quite common around Australia.

Upload speeds are needed for various reasons, one could be that they hosting a a website (unless it's hosted by a 3rd party company), secondly providing VPN access to staff members.

Yeah... schools have OP internet. And they still tell us at mine to COMPLETELY TURN OFF phones during online standardized testing or YOU WILL CRASH THE WIDTHBAND (yes, they actually said "crash the widthband". They also referred to the desktops in the library as laptops...)

Pro Tip: don't use flash when taking pictures of your build; use a longer exposure instead. Prop up your camera with something (preferably a tripod) if necessary.

if you use retarded/autistic/etc to mean stupid please gtfo
