Reading The Runes (speed Test)

[mommysboy]

I recently changed apartment. It's lovely and the big anticipation was a decent functioning internet, stated as hotspot 5 megabyte True/TOT Lan, whatever that means. Price 750bt per month.

I thought that would mean a dual server, a sort of mix. But it turns out that it just means True on one floor, and TOT on another.

Bad luck! I got True, and sure enough the tell tale signs are there: fast a few minutes, mostly slow, sometimes nothing at all, and service breakdowns that last maybe 1-2 hours.

There's no prob with my computer, the connection, or the network it seems.

So I did a broadband test from TV as follows.

As advertised, shouldn't I have something much faster?

Contrast I think!

Well, it's the usual BS then. Why is it whenever I come in to contact with True I always feel utterly short changed?

Thanks for your response.

If you were to use ;

1. Lynksys WAP54g Wireless access point connected to the True AP

2. Lynksys WAP54g Wireless access point connected to the TOT AP

with both of the local WAP54g AP's connected to a

3. Linksys - RV042 - which you use as the front end of your LAN

you might expect to get speeds similar to this or not.
