ADSL2+ vs Telstra 3G Turbo modem

Posted on 22. Nov, 2009 by Philip in Hardware

We just received our new Turbo modem from Tesltra and did an interesting speed comparison.
The charts show ADSL2+ from TPG, 3G via Telstra 3G dongle, and the iPhone speed over 3G in the same location.
Interesting that the iPhone has a higher download speed but the best upload was from the Turbo modem.
All this is academic however given how cheap the data plan is on TPG ADSL2+.
Still for pure upload speed the Turbo modem is streets ahead.

For our live streaming event for Louie Prez next week the uplink for video will be satisfactory if that speed is sustained.
