| 574690 | 2007-07-31 20:05:00 | Hi Guys After the article in the Herald on NZ's broadband speeds - they asked readers to submit their results on the test site Speedtest.net I thought I would try mine. I am reasonably happy with my speeds on Actrix 2495 kbps d/l and 133 up. Speed test is a very impressive looking site, well its home page certainly is) But what amazed me was the window in the bottom right hand corner when it shows you the best 5 continents, countries and ISPs. Countrywise Japan came out top and Sweden was next, that was fairly predictable although I would have expected to see S Korea there. But the next three countries blew me away Latvia, Romania and Bulgaria ! They are hardly known as world leading technology countries. Is this for real ? regards Digby |

| 574691 | 2007-07-31 21:31:00 | The saddest part of the stats they provide is that NZ is faster than just 18% of connections. Tell us something we didn't know! | johcar (6283) | ||
| 574692 | 2007-07-31 21:41:00 | Yes I thought S Korea was the fastest. It showed that on a recent Documentary I watched, but maybe it was an old Doco. Getting onto this forum for me with Ihug Broadband feels like a slow dialup connection at the moment. Current test on www.nzdsl.co.nz shows: Download Speed: 1527 kbps (190.9 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 131 kbps (16.4 KB/sec transfer rate) |

| 574694 | 2007-08-01 00:40:00 | At work we have 8988 down and 766 up at the moment - thats pretty normal. At home I get about 3850 down and 160 up. It's supposed to be 128 up but i'm not complaining :lol: I'm actually pretty pleased with it at home - seeing I live out in the wops. | wratterus (105) | ||

But usually you don't have to do that for speedtest.net Here's my current specs with Vodafone, on Max/Max plan, but I need a new modem with better firmware for dealing with the DSLAMS (or thats what I've been told, it's on it's way here anyway) - As reported by modem : 736 Kbps Upload 1888 Kbps Download As reported by speedtest.net -to Auckland (I am in Auckland): 582 Kbps Upload 1607 Kbps Download www.speedtest.net (http://www.speedtest.net) -to New York 340 Kbps Upload 1459 Kbps Download www.speedtest.net (http://www.speedtest.net) All tests conducted ~8.20pm, will try some at midnight if I remember and see if there's a notable difference. |
