UNSW is similar at about 120 MBps.

On a side note, the soccer field for Macquarie uni is a POS.

depends on times as well. if loads of students are using the network its pretty shit and has latency issues. but at 5pm and later you can download all the steam games

UTS has the fastest in Sydney AFAIK - one of the primary AARNet nodes is close by I believe.

There is a screenshot in the internet speed thread of iRuler getting 800Mbps in building 2, I think that was at night though.

Wow 800 MBps. You could download 23 Terabytes in 8 hours...

i highly doubt youd have a hard drive to write that fast unless youre an SSD raiding nerd.

Megabits not megabytes. That's what speedtest.net uses.

You'd be surprised how some people are

Wait that's 8 times less so that's around 90 MBps.

Actually now to think of it, I'm not sure whether our measurements above were in Megabits or Megabytes. I might check tomorrow at uni if I find the time to (given its mid-sem it should be a lot emptier than usual). I'll get the speedtest.net one done and screenshot it.
