| 1145926 | 2010-10-21 07:48:00 | I made a post after testing with the pingtest that was pretty bad numbers wise, and said I had a d connection, and then changed my mind about posting it, then tried to delete said post, and couldn't which is why the message is there. | supergran (108) | ||
| 1145927 | 2010-10-22 10:27:00 | Readers may be interested in this exchange of emails I had in March this year, my email to Citylink, the Wellington Speedtest server read:- "I live on the Kapiti Coast and have a telstra clear cable broadband link . I recently tried a speed test by going to speedtest . com and using the default test site, which was Citylink . My test result was approx 2 . 0Mb down and a little over 1 . 0Mb upload . If I test to any other site, and specifically to Perth in WA, I get my full contracted speed of 4 . 0Mb down load and 2 . 0Mb up load . Is there something about your hosting of speedtest, that is causing this poor result?" The reply I got was:- "We host three speed test servers, one in Wellington, one in Auckland, and the last in San Francisco . Those ISP's that participate in either the APE (Auckland Peering Exchange) or the WIX (Wellington Internet Exchange) are able to access the local servers . Those ISP's that don't participate, use the San Francisco server . Unfortunately, TelstraClear and Telecom/Xtra, are the about the only two ISP's in NZ not participating in one of the exchanges . In short, this means your speed test to the "Wellington" was really served from San Francisco, which accounts for the poor result . Sorry for any confusion this may cause .

Post the test results from Wellington and you'll know instantly if that guy was right or not. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
