| 495272 | 2006-10-30 10:03:00 | Hi, Just upgraded my ihug account to the above speed. Howver, just wondering what speeds I should be getting? Just tried (11pm) in on nzadsl.co.nz and got the following: Download Speed: 2393 kbps (299.1 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 132 kbps (16.5 KB/sec transfer rate) Is that acceptable?? |

| 495273 | 2006-10-30 10:12:00 | Fairly normal result. What is your data rate (you can see this when you login to your modems management pages)? This will give you an indication of what you theoretically may achieve (subtract 15% from the data rate to be left with the actual theoretical speed). Remember, Telecom's exchanges generally overcrowded which means that your speed will decrease, unfortunately. Distance from the exchange also affects your speed substantially. To get close to 7mbit you'd need to be below 1km (give or take). You're most likely get the max speed your line allows outside peak hours (3pm-12am). Hope this helps. |

| 495276 | 2006-10-30 10:26:00 | Just out of interest is it possible to search for where these exchanges are located around the country? | Nomad (952) | ||
| 495277 | 2006-10-30 16:21:00 | Just out of interest is it possible to search for where these exchanges are located around the country?The answer is in your question. Search. For example this search (www.google.co.nz) brings up this result (www.gpforums.co.nz). | Greg (193) | ||
| 495278 | 2006-10-30 19:34:00 | We are changing to the one of the new iHug plans tomorrow (1st Movember) so it'll be interesting to see what speed we can get. Funny thing is the modem has been saying that the line speed is 7240 / 800 for about the last 2 weeks. |

Funny thing is the modem has been saying that the line speed is 7240 / 800 for about the last 2 weeks. Modems always connect at their fastest speed. It is the ISP that slows it down. Mine has always said 7xxx/8xx right from day one even when I was on Jetstart 128/128. |

No, ours used to say 4560 or something similar when we changed to a 3.5Mb plan. And before that it said 360kb when we were on a 256k plan. |

No, that isn't true - Telecom has changed things over time. It depends on your plan and how Telecom sets up the exchange (or maybe your modem isn't reporting the connect speed correctly). |
