| 398940 | 2005-10-30 20:30:00 | Hi, thanks so far to those who have provided some useful suggestions....especially about not paying for service not received. I am still awaiting a response from Telecom about whether they have addressed my problem. However since last Friday my speeds have been back to normal (I hope I am not putting the kiss of death on my problem by saying this!). | Blort (9130) | ||
| 398941 | 2005-10-30 20:49:00 | My ISP (Verizon USA) provides thie neat gauge ( . verizon . net/speedtest/speedtest500k . asp" target="_blank">infospeed . verizon . net) to test my connection speeds . Although it states that it is only for Verizon accounts, I have not had anyone refused test results even if they are in another country . . . NZ MIGHT be an exception . My not being there in NZ, I cannot benchtest this myself . Maybe you can try it to see the actual lag and delays on your system . . . . or not! Let me know if you can . :confused: Also not sure if it works for Dial-up . . . maybe! :waughh: |

| 398942 | 2005-10-30 22:14:00 | Of No help to the original post but as far as the post by SurferJoe46 That link for Verizon works ok in NZ, good thruput as well on Woosh Wireless, and at the speed advertised by them. Regards Fred |

| 398944 | 2005-10-30 23:17:00 | Hi, this is the link that Telecom gave me to test my speed (I am not sure if it is only available to Xtra customers). Note: the 500k test is the only 'automatic' test that seems to work. Click here (www.jetstreamgames.co.nz) |

| 398945 | 2005-11-02 21:29:00 | OK, I did put the kiss-of-death on this problem. It appears to be no better than before. i have now seen a few posts on other forums from people in my area (Torbay and Browns Bay) that are having the same problem. What a relief that it is not just me! So if you are having similar problems please post here (more ammunition for Telecom). Thanks in advance. :D |

| 398946 | 2005-11-03 07:46:00 | Actually I live in CHCH and have noticed a near half in speed in the last two weeks. Also Latency issues and high tracert times, also web pages not opening on the first attempts etc. Xtra so far have been very little help, basically logging the call and reseting my port (big whoop). I am 99% certain its nothing at my end. The new Ihug plans are looking better by the minute. |

Thanks in advance. :D I'm on the same exchange I think, but havn't noticed anything. I'm going onto 2mb next month (well 1.4mb since my phoneline is ****) and will be able to see then. The phone exchange along Beach Rd is an archaic monster. And they won't do anything about it now until digital transition in a few years. |

Note: the 500k test is the only 'automatic' test that seems to work . Click here ( . jetstreamgames . co . nz/speed/" target="_blank">www . jetstreamgames . co . nz) OT, but that seems to work ok for Saturn/Paradise cable: Your line speed is approximately 2171 . 4 Kbps or 266 . 1 K bytes/sec Nice to know my speed is ok ;) The phone exchange along Beach Rd is an archaic monster . And they won't do anything about it now until digital transition in a few years . Not really good enough is it . If they're will ing to sell the product in the area, they should back it up with the infastructure . Could that be deemed false representation? |

If they're will ing to sell the product in the area, they should back it up with the infastructure . How would an on line speed test know what your line speed is? It tells you your through put . The line speed could be double or triple that on full rate ADSL . On restricted rate plans the line rate is limited closer to the plan rate to cut down on unnecessary cross talk If Blort's problem isn't related to bandwidth problems perhaps there's some local interferance that starts in the evenings except for some week ends and knocks out some of his actual line speed . What the exchange looks like has no bearing on what's inside . The local exchange was built for 1930s rotary . The modern equipment now stands in the corner of a huge empty room . |
