3l3m3nt:

Maybe try the official speedtest CLI?

Other than that, I am running various other kernel tweaks including some memory buffers

Your speed tests were multi server (even though you quoted specific servers) while schmoogol's are possibly single server so the difference is multi-threaded vs single-threaded connection download.

Pretty sure mine is also multi-threaded. I re-tested to get the links:

For comparison, on the Sprinter plan:

Both obviously multithreaded, but run on a Linux VM, the only changes to sysctl are BBR congestion, and fq queuing.

Yes, definitely were all multithreaded.

Here's some of my sysctl's, which are pretty wild.

net.core.default_qdisc = fq_codel
net.core.rmem_max = 82501632
net.core.wmem_max = 82501632
net.core.rmem_default = 1048576
net.core.wmem_default = 1048576
net.core.netdev_max_backlog = 10000
net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control = bbr
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 64999
net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 4096 131072 82501632
net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 4096 16384 82501632
net.ipv4.tcp_no_metrics_save = 1

My international speed tests are looking a bit better now.

However the same for single-threaded from Apple or Microsoft:

While more local downloads perform okay:

Seems like there's at least a bit of optimisiation or problem solving that needs to happen on my local network before considering hyperfibre as something that could be useful, at any rate.

What's the rational behind turning off metrics saving?

Seems like that would probably reduce everyday performance when web-browsing etc.

No point other than a bit of experimentation. I was reading a whitepaper from CERN where they were testing LFN's (Long Fat Networks) where they tend to transfer large amounts of data over high bandwidth, high latency links - which is effectively what we are in NZ. That setting was part of their recommendations, so I blindly followed :)

I'll always prioritise better responsiveness over absolutely the best possible throughput. Big downloads aren't interactive so who cares if they are a bit slower? But then again I have also just updated my home network to 2.5G in case I have to get Hyperfibre even though I think it's pointless for everyone (*)

Aww darn it!!! You went straight to the use case I can't argue against for Hyperfibre :-)

For international traffic sometimes VPNs work better as they don't get artificially throttled. Especially to Europe that sometimes helps.

What I'd really like to know is, what the use case is for 2G/2G. That usenet download is impressive but does it really make a diff if that is 200MB/s or 30MB/s? I actually dropped our connection from 950/300 to 300/100 and still need to see any impact on our usage (1.6TB/month 4 people). Most of the bottlenecks are server side.
Although I'd buy any package that would halve latency to overseas though (or double the speed of light in fibre 🤣 ).

There is literally no point or use case. I just wanted it 😁

Well that is THE most valid point possible. I was just curious, you could have said squirrelsecretNZleakssinkhole
