293223 2004-11-17 16:47:00 My account shows as being the Plus account type. When we tested the d/l speed at Jetstream Games, we got aroung 890 kbps and I was told that it was better than what I used to have ie 256 so I should be happy with that!. Anyone else getting this sort of speed from JSG? peejayw (5130)

www.nzdsl.co.nz

I get 230/240 on the test , also try the tweaks they may help, I am about 2 kms from the exchange, as others have said it also depends on from what site you are downloading, the variations in line/server speed are more noticable when you are on the 2Mb plan.

293225 2004-11-17 19:14:00 I have a 2Mb cable connection through Paradise. I have noted that if I contact a NZ or Oz site, download speed is about 1.8Mb. US sites normally run at 600k. UK sites (which I see you are trying to contact) are soooo slooooow, I virtually never access.

Hope this helps,
David

293226 2004-11-18 04:52:00 I tried that site, thanks. My result was 115kB so it seems about only half-speed? peejayw (5130)
293227 2004-11-18 04:55:00 Hi David,
I tried Xtra's game site, jetstreamgamers.co.nz/speed, as instructed by the friendly help-person and got around 110kB when I was expecting close to twice this.
