Wifi, how ever a speed test to an Auckland server seems normal around 20D/9U. Also tests during "off-peak" hours gives same speeds.

Minh: Wifi, how ever a speed test to an Auckland server seems normal around 20D/9U. Also tests during "off-peak" hours gives same speeds. See http://www.resolveware.com/UFB_Realities.pptx. Basically, wifi sucks for "speed tests" because there's unknown interference and added latency can slow things down. If you're in an urban environment or anywhere where there's anything transmitting or causing interference on 2.4ghz, any "speed tests" you do on any type of connection are worthless. Do it via a wired (100mbit/1gige) connection and then complain :) (Also, do it on a modern OS. A newer OS X/Linux/Windows vista/7. XP is too old)

so you have a fast pipe but crappy international link. try a new ISP perhaps? I'm only on ADSL but get better results to san francisco: via local wifi on laptop: via local wired on win7 desktop: Need help implementing Microsoft CRM? Give OA Systems a shout.
