Telecom Broadband meter is a bit short

Telecom may want to think about upgrading their broadband meter. My Orcon connection (over Chorus cabinetised lines) is a lot faster than their “Extreme!” speed of about 2.5 Megabits/sec.

This is, of course, a good problem to have, and a symptom of ever increasing speeds. Fibre to the home will give well over ten times the red line for 100 Megabits/sec and  100 times the red line for 1 Gigabit/sec connections. I cannot wait.

As an aside – here is my broadband meter for my mobile phone. I’d really like to know my data usage.
