Don't have a mirror for my provider but on Optus and Bigpond it ran around the same speed Optus was slightly slower at 1.26 something Mbps
This is on 1500/256 adsl with Chariot

Seems like a really big differenge between my cable and ADSL but really not all that noticable when both are in use. What is noticable is going back to 56k after the faster modes. Had to do it at kome for a number of months and just about gave up on using the internt at home for good,
Took me 7 hours to down some software on 56k that downloaded in 12 minutes on adsl and almost 4 on cable. I never want to go back there again I just don't have that many hours left in my day that I can waste them on a slow modem.

285 ~ 375 kbps (ie with about 30%) is a quite acceptable variation - lots of factors come into play.
Note the 35.65 value is in kiloBYTES per second, whereas the kbps refers to KiloBITS per second, so at 8/bits per byte = 285 kbps

I really don't care what the speed is, as long as it is a lot faster than dial-up and stays on.
