| 874184 | 2010-04-08 04:31:00 | Hi I am currently in Papamoa at a relatives house and connected to ADSL2+, however I am experiencing very slow speeds compared to my router stats. Link Information Uptime: 0 days, 0:23:45 DSL Type: G.992.5 annex A Bandwidth (Up/Down) [kbps/kbps]: 716 / 17.844 Data Transferred (Sent/Received) [kB/kB]: 0,00 / 0,00 Output Power (Up/Down) [dBm]: 12,5 / 0,0 Line Attenuation (Up/Down) [dB]: 3,5 / 7,0 SN Margin (Up/Down) [dB]: 14,0 / 13,0 Vendor ID (Local/Remote): TMMB / IKNS Loss of Framing (Local/Remote): 0 / 0 Loss of Signal (Local/Remote): 0 / 0 Loss of Power (Local/Remote): 0 / 0 Loss of Link (Remote): 0 Error Seconds (Local/Remote): 0 / 0 FEC Errors (Up/Down): 0 / 382 CRC Errors (Up/Down): 0 / 0 HEC Errors (Up/Down): 0 / 0 And the speedtest: www.speedtest.net Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks. |

What isp? eg if you were on bigtime id expect that from 4pm-10pm etc. Bear in mind also that is just ONE measurement. things may change over time,so id do several to get a trend. Kind of like getting your blood pressure ! |

| 874187 | 2010-04-08 04:58:00 | Video streaming is fine, cant do HD continously on YT though. And I think the plan is a capped one (probably explorer) because I'm not noticing any throttling while torrenting. Also I thought the speed was quite low considering the line attenuation and the fact that the exchange is just down the road. |

I cant say too much about youtube "HD", even on our corporate internet provided by DMZglobal it didnt work very well. did you do some more speedtests? So in other words you are at a relatives house who have no idea what they have bought and your thinking its crap compared to what you expect. Are you staying there long? |

The "line" speed is 17 Mb/s - nothing to complain about. It is either the plan you are on or something wrong with the PC. This is the reason why I think fibre to the home is not as important as many people think. |

| 874192 | 2010-04-09 18:16:00 | My router stats and my real speed (at best 1mbps) don't match either. Loads of things can affect actual download speed..... |

It's a waste of time changing from one crap to another. If you do want to try out, be prepared to expect the same 'service' sooner or later. That's NZ's Broadband. |
