According to the numbers it is slower - but be fucked if I noticed it at all, must be 'cause I have a life

I was just trying to say that the speed isn't as good as they make it seem. Live streaming is still crap which makes web TV not very good (for most of the time). But if you are happy, then I am happy for you............

Looks like you are getting what you are paying for.

In case you hadn't worked it out, some of these clowns are using a graphics package to enhance their internet performance results to appear faster than a home network.

I believe in my case its because i'm behind a firewall which blocks ICMP.

Some of us also clearly stated that we were posting results from work. We have a circuit with 30mb CIR, and you dont want to know how much that costs, but suffice to say its probably more per month than the combined annual cost of all the home connections in this thread.

Man you guys have some sucky upload speeds!
But that said my download speed tonight is way slower than the normal.

Your area was probably cabinetised lately.
Have a look on telecomwholesale.co.nz/maps and check.

Yep some are on very fast business networks, others have doctored their actual figures and hence the speed rating does not corolate with the ping test rating.
