The US has a tolerance of electro magnetic radio waves 10,000 times more than AU limits.

579: Speedtest;Ping 20.67ms 109.33ms. Download 13.39Mbps 6.08Mbps
Upload 13.60Mbps 3.14Mbps

I assume that's wireless. I have ADSL 2;
Speedtest; Ping, 10 ms. Download, 15.19 Mbps. Upload, .73 Mbps.

I assume that's not too bad. It says that's that result is better than 80% of users.

The only problem I have is that it does not translate into reality on most sites. On some downloads from, Say Microsoft, Nvidia, Rivers even Utube the download will drop down to anywhere between 25 & 375 Kbps at times. I have never had a download at anywhere near 15 Mbps. I assume that has something to do with the number of people who are downloading from that particular server at that time.

Please explain.

Wireless schools

With the increasing trend to make schools wireless environments, are we unnecessarily exposing children to EMF dangers? Are students experiencing anxiety, brain fog, dizziness, headaches, fatigue, sleep disorders, memory loss, and depression from EMF exposures? Parents across the country and internationally are refusing to allow their children to be EMF experiments. Should you be concerned?

Mary Garofalo's investigation as part of the Canadian 16:9 television show summarizes why some people are concerned about wireless schools. The 16:9 investigation shows the Canadian government's claims that their studies show WiFi schools are safe based on scientific evidence is proven to not be true (see 6:50 to 7 minutes in the below video). The classroom exposure can exceed the exposure of being near a cell phone tower.
The US has no federal legislation regarding safe levels of EMF.

The current U.S. standard for radiation exposure from cell phone towers is 580-1,000 microwatts per sq. cm. (mW/cm2), among the least protective in the world. More progressive European countries have set standards 100 to 1,000 times lower than the U.S. Compare Australia at 200 microwatts, Russia, Italy, and Toronto, Canada at 10, China at 6, and Switzerland, at 4. In Salzburg, Austria the level is .1 mircowatts (pulsed), 10,000 times less than the U.S. New Zealand has proposed yet more stringent levels, at .02 microwatts, 50,000 times more protective than the U.S. standard. 3, 4

Contrary to what the communications industry tells us, there is vast scientific, epidemiological and medical evidence that confirms that exposure to the RF and microwave radiation emitted from cell towers, even at low levels, can have profound adverse effects on biological systems. 5, 6, 7, 8

There is vast scientific and medical evidence that exposure to cell tower radiation, even at low levels, can have profound adverse effects on biological systems.

Jayd That is congestion, especially when kids are off school. Adsl 2+ is the best if you are no father away than 2 km's from an exchange. If you are more than that from an exchange, your speeds will vary greater with more traffic. Important these days is to check with Telstra, and not rely on online checking that ADSL 2 is available in your street, at your particular number.
With ADSL 1 being phased out some people are finding out, their infrastructure can not support ADSL 2. In suburbs of less than 20 years existence, it's called rim service.
