| 1299395 | 2012-09-06 22:55:00 | Hi all, I'm on DSL2 at the moment (in grey lynn Ak) and about to get fibre connected. If you can let me know some good speed tests to run I'll do a before and after and post the final results in this forum (assuming anyone is interested). I'll do the tests at different time of the day as Telsta is crap in the evenings | kiwibits (5574) | ||
| 1299396 | 2012-09-06 22:58:00 | speedtest.net ? | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1299397 | 2012-09-06 23:00:00 | http://www.speedtest.net/ If you google speedtest it's the first result, and I think it's the one usually used to post here. I'll be interested to see your results, I'd expect it to be a good improvement. |

| 1299398 | 2012-09-06 23:07:00 | I've just been connected to Orcon UFB 30/10 . In my tests (NZ servers) I have found a very big difference between the testing site you use so there will be no clear-cut answer to your quest . Pings range from 11ms to 40ms and speeds from 15/5 to 27/9 . Naturally, the Orcon (Auck) one is best! The worst is the Telecom test site (maybe it will improve when they offer plans!!) . But good luck, anyway . (My ADSL2 (Telecom) was 14 . 5/0 . 8) . |

| 1299399 | 2012-09-06 23:46:00 | Here's a few things to try: 1) speedtest.net -- Some people try and poo poo the results, but it's very "real world", where a single slow link somewhere in the chain will slow the throughput. 2) Grab WinMTR, leave it running for a few thousand iterations going to: 2talk.co.nz / trademe.co.nz / facebook.com / seven.com.au / nzherald.co.nz / dreamhost.com (Have them all running concurrently) 3) Run a test from a local akamai cache and see what speeds you get. Pick a firmware file from here and test both a single thread vs a multi-threaded download such as DownThemAll (Firefox plugin -- the only reason I have Firefox Portable on my system): www.felixbruns.de Be very interested to see your before / after results, as well as timings from different times of the day :) |

I'm on Telstra Warp Speed Up to 100 Mbps tried that link, BUT blink and I miss it ( literately) Edited: OK ignore above found a bigger file 58 MB, - getting almost full speed, but as its building up speed it finishes. |

| 1299401 | 2012-09-07 00:51:00 | ^^ Grab the iPad firmware, it's a few hundred megs, with the latest being ~1GB | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1299402 | 2012-09-07 02:02:00 | Thanks chill, its steady at 7- 8.5MB/S which is close enough to the Telstra Speed test. ( 86.44 Mbps) | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1299403 | 2012-09-07 02:37:00 | Is that single-threaded download or multi-threaded? | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1299404 | 2012-09-09 08:46:00 | Is that single-threaded download or multi-threaded? Huh? |
