493883	2006-10-25 06:20:00	Has any one tried this (www.speedtest.net) Speed Test? These days, when I use it, it thinks I am in Oz, and recommends an Aussie server. It used to think I was in NZ and recommend an NZ server. What does it do to everyone else?	Tony (4941)
493884	2006-10-25 06:28:00	Nope it loaded up Auckland for me. They use your IP as means of trying to find where you 'may' be. Auckland gave me 60/60kbps btw ^_^ Sydney gave a better pulse with 80/64.	trinsic (6945)
493885	2006-10-25 06:34:00	Auckland server, placed me about Ashburton, close but Im closer to Christchurch by about an hour	beama (111)
493886	2006-10-25 06:40:00	It also says I am < 50 Km from Auckland and last time I went from home to there it took about 2 1/2 hours from where I am. Last time I noticed I was not on a horse or a model A or T Ford. The site also wants servers. Hmmmmmm.	Sweep (90)
493887	2006-10-25 06:43:00	Has any one tried this (www.speedtest.net) Speed Test? Yep, a few people have posted results from there here These days, when I use it, it thinks I am in Oz, and recommends an Aussie server. It used to think I was in NZ and recommend an NZ server. That will be based on your IP address, is your ISP ihug? What does it do to everyone else? NZ server - Xtra	stu161204 (123)
493888	2006-10-25 10:28:00	That will be based on your IP address, is your ISP ihug? Yes it is ihug - current IP: 203.109.243.144. So why does that put me in Australia - and why did I used to be in NZ?	Tony (4941)
493889	2006-10-25 10:36:00	Yes it is ihug - current IP: 203.109.243.144. So why does that put me in Australia - and why did I used to be in NZ? Because time to time ihug NZ uses ip address from ihug Australia, so that why :) I Hope this helps	stu161204 (123)
493890	2006-10-25 22:13:00	It tells me I am 200 miles from Auckland.... (that would be a good thing when we are driving there)	fluffydog (11346)
