| 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? |

| 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. |

| 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. |

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 |
