You can now test your download & upload speeds on Speedtest.net by connecting to a server based in Mauritius, located in Port Louis. Alternative link - speedtest.orange.mu
& as expected, I got 2Mbps, as that is the local speed for all My.T 512K, 1Mbps & 2Mbps connections.
4Mbps subscribers will get 4Mbps.
& ADSL 512K users will get the above.
The reason is quite obvious why that server was setup… & I can already foresee legions of less tech-savvy users thinking, “Why is the speed test showing 2Mbps when I have a 1Mbps connection?”
Advice - use the Antananarivo server to know your actual international speed.
In other news, I just got this…
Hogwash.
