An interesting video, but you really should have read the forum rules here before posting.
No links / urls to anywhere under any circumstance.

Also, statistically; the more stable line as an average is actually an inherent probability over the very large number of clients that Telstra have on relatively poor connection speeds.

Unfortunately for you, you pretty much disprove your own point by showing someone with a 1.6 megabit average, above the theoretical throttle point.
You're basically saying "everyone is getting this because the average line never moves", but at the sime time you've clearly got an example where the individual value is over this theoretical throttle value, thus the throtte can't actually be in place.

Definitely an interesting one to investigate.

Also "megbits" is NOT a generally acceptable abbreviation, the only company that uses it is ISSI, a single chip fabricator.
Every other application of the term is (by and large) a typo or a mispronounciation. The term is Megabits, to shorten it to megbits is ridiculous.
"megs" is ok, Mb is ok, megbits is not.

From my standpoint, having watched that one video; I'd have to say you probably do have a great knowledge of electronics, but I'm afraid it doesn't appear to have translated adequately into a great knowledge of IT and comms.

In my latest video blog I provide proof that Telstra are throttling youtube speed to their customers, even those on the top Elite cable plans:

Consumers can test their own ISP youtube speed here:
