1324376 2013-01-23 03:58:00 This is what I get:
www.speedtest.net <- Auckland / Worldnet
www.speedtest.net <- Wellington / Citylink
www.speedtest.net <- Christchurch / Snap
www.speedtest.net <- Sydney / Internode
www.speedtest.net <- Sydney / Telstra

Now granted my speeds are slower VDSL2 (Because I'm so far from the Cabinet) but you see how they're all the same? ;)

1324377 2013-01-23 04:19:00 One thing I 've found over the years, for some reason if you use Speedtest.net with a cable connection ( like Telstra) its always up and down and never reads consistent. Yet using ADSL of what ever flavour a person has, it reads more consistent.

Getting data from where ever its coming from is never ( or hardly ever) at the max a person can download Via speedtest. Theres been times when getting stuff from technet is so damn fast you dont even have time to make a cuppa, others its :sleep

Just downloading the new "Client Restore Disc: Windows Server 2012 Essentials (x86 and x64)" its coming through between 4-6 MB/s Go bring the car in, and it should be done. Yet when downloading Office 2013 it was give up at the time lucky to hit 1MB/s

Kind of need the restore CD if I'm trying out Server 2012 Essentials ( replacement for SBS &WHS) :D

1324378 2013-01-23 04:23:00 Yeah and depending on where that's coming from it'll be either:
Congestion with your ISPs handover somewhere along the line to Microsoft
Or
Microsofts servers that you're using are saturated so not giving off full speeds

A traceroute will give you an indication as to where the server is, lets say it's an Auckland-local mirror. That means if you're getting 80mbps locally to a variety of other servers, the issue is at Microsofts end (They're not likely to care)
However if you only get 10mbps to other places locally, then you can point the finger at your ISP (Also not really likely to care much)....
