Three miles from the host is nothing. 

it can actuly  ( well over here )   due to the old phone lines we have

On the graph, the blue and green shaded areas show the theoretical maximum speeds you can obtain on Internode Extreme ADSL2+ services, at various distances from your local telephone exchange using either an ADSL1 or ADSL2+ broadband modem

The data cap is insane, it ridiculous.  In the Land of the Free, I've never seen a data or time cap for ten or fifteen years since dial up, we've got unlimited internet usage.  I'm paying 40 bucks, for a 7 down, 1.5 up. 

welcome to Australia  ;)

as you can see   we are getting bent over   it costs us quite a bit   

only this month  AAPT  announced a no cap plan for $99 per month   

I am waiting to see how that goes  :-\

Just got done checking with Qwest, and the speed all of a sudden jumped. Here are the results of their test, and my new speed test:

Last Result:
Download Speed: 1.331 Mbps (0.2 MB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 0.72 Mbps (0.1 MB/sec transfer rate)
The closest server located in Minneapolis, MN performed this test with a latency of 65 milliseconds.
Test Date: Thursday, February 18, 2010 2:08:47 PM
