| 498581 | 2006-11-13 06:17:00 | I get 800 down 135 up for Auckland and 300 (stayed at 100 for ages) down and 120 up for Los Angeles. Just wait for Telecom to sort themselves. omg.............try a 'tracert' on that losangeles server and you'll find it's no where near as 'direct' a server as the auckland one.........what do you expect....that a file downloaded from a server in los angeles will have as few other servers to 'hop' thru as one in auckland. ?.....and every server on the network can be a bottleneck.......its a FACT that when doin a speed test DONT do it from some server around the other side of the world unless you WANT to get a slower reading............it's obvious really On the other hand I got 3148 down on the Sydney server and 132 up. The Auckland server gave me 1489 down and 125 up. I live in the central North Island and I'm with Telecom. |

Though, early morning tests do show an improvement over the last few days, from the pathetic dialup speeds Go Large was initially giving. I understand that other plans that do not have the 'fair use' and 'traffic management' packet filtering (layer 7 or whatever), have not experienced the same loss of speed. Indeed when the 219.xxx series IP was 'erroneously' allocated for a few hours, speed rocketed up, presumably there was no 'management' with those IP addresses. |
