ADSL - asynchronous... your upload is meant to be shite.....if it wasn't your download would be shiter.

Wifi losing a 3rd of speed......likely interference. Try 20MHz channel and try channels 13, 11, 6 and 1 in that order.
Wifi attenuation is worse through metal and bodies of water. If you've got a huge hoose then try cheap powerline adapters with multiple wifi access points.

What's more important than outright speed is low latency and packet loss. In real life, most folk wouldn't notice the difference between a 10Mbps connection and a 100Mbps connection. Try running speedtest on a foreign server and you'll get a good feel for why we should have pissed away less money on domestic fiber and more on undersea cables.

But I like 100mbps across the city within our WAN

Mine just now.



Signed up with Now NZ's fiber service. Awesome DL speeds obviously but for some reason I'm having issues with YouTube clips playing in 144p then rarely auto playing in HD. It seems very inconsistent. Would this be a problem with the service provider or YouTube itself?
