Pretty darn quick Internet Speed

Pretty darn quick Internet Speed We've been getting some rather fast downloads lately, the speed rating showing downloading at 1.15MB per sec. I just did a speedtest after getting another large file in record time......how's this? http://images.trademe.co.nz/photoserver/90/63158090_full.jpg

Geez.thats 8 times Faster that I get from Xtra :(
geek_talklinkMarch 20, 2008, 10:38 am#5
But we ARE with Xtra In Willis St Wellington. We have always had pretty good speed in these premises (moved in last August and switched to Telecom as HO wanted us to) but was usually around 8-9000. One of the guys from our Auckland office was here yesterday and our speed then checked out at around 8900. He was miffed, theirs is around 900. Hehehe!

geek_flewyMarch 20, 2008, 10:43 am#7
Lucky for him and his HO lol gangsta!

Tried the Speedtest.net site http://www.speedtest.net/result/248527425.png (HoHoHo.......)
geek_talklinkMarch 20, 2008, 10:45 am#9
What puzzles me, is why Telecom claim the max is way lower than this. What did they forget to do that lets us get this speed? And are they going to suddenly realise and whack back on the limiter?
geek_flewyMarch 20, 2008, 10:49 am#10
Maybe your on an ADSL2 exchange
geek_wholesalerMarch 20, 2008, 10:54 am#11
... LOL I am still winning.
geek_talklinkMarch 20, 2008, 11:30 am#12
Re #10 That's a possibility, as we do have an adsl 2+ modem. Better not enquire though, as if it's a mistake they'll chop us off!
geek_flewyMarch 20, 2008, 11:33 am#13
I think you would have to be adsl 1 only goes to 8mbps i think.

Wellington gateway is in the US for Xtra customers so you shouldn't use it as a reference.
geek_budzilla11March 20, 2008, 12:54 pm#19
Its even faster going to Los Angeles then Wellington. [URL=http://www.speedtest.net][IMG]http://www.speedtest.net/result/248574703.png[/IMG][/URL]

Why does cable have 3 times more upload speed.(Just a gamer not a Tech head)
geek_tribalcorpMarch 20, 2008, 5:38 pm#24
Mine http://www.speedtest.net/result/248645849.png
geek_vtecintegraMarch 20, 2008, 6:12 pm#25
... TC cable - bang on the 4mbps down/2mbs up advertised speeds. http://www.speedtest.net/result/248650880.png . I prefer the lower latency and more balances up/down speeds even if down is slower.
