| 1380195 | 2014-07-27 10:58:00 | Depends on the wireless standard you are using, the distance you are from the base station and how many people are using it. Even old IEEE802.11g is 54Mbps. IEEE802.11n is over 100Mbps so probably would not be the bottle neck for a speed test. Shouldn't be, but practice would suggest otherwise, in the instances of most routers. |

| 1380197 | 2014-07-27 22:17:00 | The speed of the WiFi might be faster than the WAN but WiFi often has latency issues which causes the problem. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1380198 | 2014-07-27 23:01:00 | Wifi access points will drop down to the lowest speed on any device connecting to it so if you have 1 WirelessG device, all the wifi will be dropped to 'G' , even though the router supports N. ) Same with the very old wirelessB (dont laugh, a few still out there in use) You can sometimes disable the lower speed/older wifi modes (11g, 11b) in some routers |

| 1380199 | 2014-07-27 23:02:00 | That too. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1380200 | 2014-07-27 23:06:00 | That too. Not to mention that they're all half-duplex too... |

| 1380201 | 2014-07-28 00:14:00 | A while back I tested from my smartphone on VDSL and the telecom supplied Technicolor router and was getting around 10 - 12Mb/s. I assumed it was a limitation of the phone and wasn't concerned as it was plenty fast enough. Then I got my Alcatel router working and tested again - 24Mb/s same as my PC gets over ethernet. So as Chill says practice would suggest some routers don't achieve any where near the theoretical speed over wireless. Both routers are supposedly wireless N 300 Mbp/s capable but the test was done from my garage where there is only 1-2 bars of signal. | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1380202 | 2014-07-28 01:40:00 | My download speed is similar to some of the upload speeds noted above. About 9 down/0.8 up. Chorus stuck a sign near my street - saying fiber starting around Feb next year. Need speed I guess for maps I'm creating/updating. Slow for mapping currently. | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
| 1380203 | 2014-07-30 03:14:00 | That sums it up nicely :) Had Xtra/Telcom around here on Saturday trying to peddle their services, they "claimed" they could give us a better deal / speed than out current ISP, SWMBO answered the door, all she said was can you beat 130+ in speed Plus unlimited usage ? ----- His reply -- :horrified "Sorry to bother you, good bye" and walked away --- Seems she listens sometimes when I talk :wub Who can get 130+ in speed?, AFAIK, only the local EIT has a gigabyte internet connection and even commercial only goes up to 100 |

Unlimited as well. Just did a copule of speed tests, as below, take into consideration that theres a PC in the workshop downloading a truck load of updates at the same time, hence not quite hitting 130 ( close enough) 5868 5869 5870 Could go faster but no point . From memory they have a 150 plan as well, but its to expensive. Found it -- This page customerzone.vodafone.co.nz its an old listing, teh 100 has been changed to 130 and called teh entertainment package and gone unlimited. The 150 is the same name Entertainment Package as well as unlimited. 5871 |
