Broadband speed - Auckland - WTF has happened

[Devil]

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.

6.51Mb/s is roughly 814kB/sec.
So that test is correct.

6.51Mb/s is roughly 814kB/sec.
So that test is correct.

The test is correct however it only reflects the download speed from that superfast server. Try and visit a US or EU website and it will be just as slow as before.

Yeah WTF I'm in South Aucks and my net has slowed waaaay down, getting under 1mbps?!

There is absolutely no point trying to run a test to there, far too many factors and hops in between. Running the test as close to home gives you a realistic measure of the ability of the end lines right at your house.

As soon as you are onto the exchange etc, you have contention ratios from the ISP, the APE (edit, oops, assuming you're in Auckland), and finally the pipes out of NZ.

Current line... I love it at night, gorgeous latency too...

What the hell is up with my Upload speed?

That's because I'm sucking all the pron off your hard drive. Stop posting, you're slowing me down...

Try the test here:

Not so good, is it?

The test is relative and dependent upon the server you are connecting/downloading to and from.

[Blackbird]

have had 6/94mps

Compared with your 2.83/0.54, mine is 3.94/0.63 despite being 50 km further down the stringline from Thames. Maybe time of day/loading has something to do with it.
