Here and here are the BigPond Cable/ADSL and OptusNet Cable results. If you want to look at results from your ISP try http:/ /www.dslreports.com/archive/<YOUR ISP SUBNET HERE>?r=722

I would say that the reason we can get higher speeds is probably because we have download limits instead - there's always a tradeoff.

Having said that, there's speeds of upto 18Mbit quoted there, if they are true then the users are very lucky lol.
