| 496090 | 2006-11-02 22:01:00 | Have been frequently performing my broadband speed tests as I'm not getting the 'MAX' speed. I've changed to 'Go Large Plan' . Phoned Xtra's helpdesk and the tech told me to perform 3 speed test for 3 days using both my own user name and user@jetstreamgames.co.nz and let them know the test results so that they can find out why I am not getting the max speed. Interestingly, I found that when using NZDSL the result is slower than using Xtra's speed tests. When I changed to user@jetstreamgames.co.nz , I am able to get xtremely highspeed, is this the so-called MAX speed? I can still use this login name to surf the Internet. Can I just login to this jetstreamgames and enjoy the highspeed Internet? Cheers |

| 496091 | 2006-11-02 22:05:00 | You mean www.jetstreamgames.co.nz I have to agree, I find most of these speed tests give you only a ballpark figure, with International speed tests like "Speakeasy" being nearly completely useless. Best way to test, is real world downloading from a known fast source. |

| 496092 | 2006-11-02 22:21:00 | You mean www.jetstreamgames.co.nz . No, the tech asked me to change my log in user at my ADSL router to test the speed: 1 with my own username.xadsl@xtra.co.nz and another test using user@jetstreamgames.co.nz . I'll have to perform the test 3 times a day for 3 days and send back the test results to them. Don't really know what for. He also checked and confirmed that my line is OK, meaning, I should get the Max speed! BUT, I am NOT getting it. |

| 496093 | 2006-11-02 23:02:00 | I C what you mean now . By the way, what do you define as "Max" speed? The term "Max" varies wildly from connection to connection depending on things like distance from exchange etc . |

| 496095 | 2006-11-03 01:06:00 | What happened to your free adsl? Sadly, it has gone about two weeks ago when I had a phone line problem. They rectified my phone line and at the same time, 'rectified' my ADSL connection. :( I was enjoying something like 6 - 8 MB fast Internet for many months. :) |

| 496096 | 2006-11-03 01:24:00 | Anyway, the good news is: I'll be having my FREE broadband for another year as I won myself 1 yrs broadband in the 'Pass the parcel' game! :) | bk T (215) | ||

| 496098 | 2006-11-03 07:34:00 | Some people just get all the good luck. Not really ALL the goodies, as can be seen right now, I don't (and probably will not) enjoy the highspeed Internet as you guys do :( Any idea why Xtra's speed test is so much higher than NZDSL's speed test? |

| 496099 | 2006-11-03 07:49:00 | Any idea why Xtra's speed test is so much higher than NZDSL's speed test? Don't know. But I get the reverse situation. Low speed with the Xtra one and better (twice) with NZADSL test |
