Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Indian software company, Aspire Softech, has launched broadbandbenchmark.com , a free service that enables Internet users to test the latency (time delay) of their Internet connection to selected major online game sites.
The site works by running a test on the connection between a user's PC and the selected sites in a number of categories. The results of the tests are stored enabling Aspire Softech to provide a comparison of the user's Internet connection against others in the same country. The company says it does not store personal information.
The site uses an ActiveX application under Windows, (which at present will only run on Internet Explorer) and a certificate provided by Thawte. At present the gaming sites available for testing are: Eve Online, Everquest, GameServers Chicago, GameServers Frankfurt, Second Life, World of Warcraft Europe, World of Warcraft USA.
The service is free to use. Aspire Softech says: "Our goal is to build up a picture of the quality of network connectivity offered by different ISPs which we believe will be valuable to the ISPs and to website owners who want to ensure they have good connectivity to their customers.
