    Broadband speed - Auckland - WTF has happened

    Out of curiosity, just did a speed test and I am getting a download speed of 6 Mbps (max I have ever had is 1.5). Tried this 5 times and the same sort of number (upload approx. 0.8Mbps)

    WTF is going on Telecom? finally sort your shit out? I am well impressed if something has finally been done.

    BTW in the Meadowbank area.

    Any one know whats going on?

    Cheers

    Stu

    You have probably just been moved to a road side cabinet (ASLAM) from the exchange (DSLAM).

    When the copper is shortened it improves your connection a lot.

    I've just run the speedtest, with this result.




    Curiously, my own speed test measure 847kB/sec while this test was being done, not 6.51Mb/s.

    yay for that. This was the last fix they did when I noted that the phone line was like a firehose when it rained. (you need sound for the best effect)

    Ironically while you guys are boasting about better connections, mine has slowed right the fuck down.

    Sigh.

    Time to go on a shooting rampage at the Telecom HQ.

    At least I know the cops aren't going to try to stop me now.

    I was thinking about upgrading to ADSL2+ because my connection as the speed was not good. The Telecom engineer just told me to powerdown and then repower my router.

    My download speed has jumped from just under 4Mb/s to just under 6Mb/s.

    You guys with the slow connections might want to try the same.
