There are some current issues with one of the transit upstreams we use (a fault was lodged with them a few hours ago).

We're getting good throughput on multi-thread download tests but poor throughput single-thread.

I was pulling over 400Mbps quite comfortably on a single download from the US the other night so it's definitely something we'll get fixed.

Once this is resolved I'll update this thread with the results, hopefully tomorrow.

Snaps Speedtest is pretty decent considering distance:

Just go to whoever you want. There are many happy Snap customers on here and personally I think they're one of the better providers for international capacity.

WartookMan: You might be right... looks like there's an internal issue with VOCUS (NZ Auckland) - unless that is the AKL (NZ) -to- CA (USA) connection.

I haven't had a notification from the upstream yet but it's looking much better.

1) Download from Los Angeles server:

(160Mbps, not bad).

2) Speedtest.net Results

Let me know how you get on now.

We're pretty serious about being the best local network in Tauranga - for example we're the only regional I'm aware of that's part of the Netflix OpenConnect program and that requires multiple gbps in capacity each night to fill the cache.

Had one of the Technical guys at Full Flavour have a look at the upstream connections to the USA. They look like they've discovered an issue - so it certainly pays to check with you ISP (thanks @kiwikiwi). New results show:
Latest result.

50/20 Mbps fibre

Now back to work...

Looks like Vocus are sending the FF traffic via Australia first with that latency to the US (you won't necessarily see it in the trace route)

We've taken the Vocus route down and it's going direct to east coast US via San Jose.
