Internet Speed
I am with bigpond broadband (Telstra) and i'm on the 256/1000 k thing or something like that.
It's supposed to at about 200kb/s, but on my computer (when downloading items) it only goes at a max of 30kb/s.
No, the amount of memory left in my hard drive doesnt do much because i tested the speed on my other computer which is almost empty and i get the same result.
Why is this happening and how can i get to the maximum speed?
If you don't think bigpond is a good network, please suggest some other networks (Australian [Sydney])
THANKS IN ADVANCE

Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
Your ISP is talking bits, but you're seeing bytes. There are 8 bits(abbreviated lowercase b) in one byte(upercase B). Your plan is 256 kilobits per second(kbps) download, 1000 kilobits per second upload, an odd configuration. That is equivalent to 32 kilobytes per second(kB/s) download, 110 kilobytes per second upload. So 30kB/s is normal for your plan.
It's my understanding that bigpond has a monopoly on broadband in Australia. I don't think there's anything better.
